automatically.
` Off
` On
Turn this setting on to reduce the dynamic range of
Dolby Digital material so that you can still hear quiet
parts even when listening at low volume levels—ideal
for watching movies late at night when you don’t want
to disturb anyone.
Note
• The effect of the Late Night function depends on the
material that you are playing and the intention of the original
sound designer, and with some material there will be little
or no effect when you select the different options.
• The Late Night function can be used only when the input
source is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, or Dolby
TrueHD.
• The Late Night function is set to “Off” when the AV receiver
is set to standby. For Dolby TrueHD sources, it will be set
to “Auto”.
Music Optimizer
■ Music Optimizer
` Off
` On
The Music Optimizer function enhances the sound
quality of compressed music files. When set to “On”,
the M.Opt indicator lights on the AV receiver’s
display, and the MUSIC OPTIMIZER indicator (North
American and Taiwanese models) lights on the
front panel.
Tip
• (North American and Taiwanese models) Alternatively,
you can use MUSIC OPTIMIZER on the AV receiver.
Note
• The Music Optimizer function only works with PCM digital
audio input signals with a sampling rate below 48 kHz and
analog audio input signals.
When NET or USB input selector is selected, this function
even works with digital audio input signals with a sampling
rate below 48 kHz (except DSD signals and Dolby TrueHD
signals) regardless of the PCM digital audio input signals
with a sampling rate below 48 kHz.
• The Music Optimizer is disabled when the Direct or Pure
Audio (European, Australian and Asian models)
listening mode is selected.
• The setting is stored individually for each input selector.
