Digital Output	HDMI LPCM HDMI RAW SPDIF LPCM SPDIF RAW

AUDIO SETUP-"Night Mode" (Audio Dynamic Range Control)

When the Night Mode is enabled the sound level of compatible audio soundtracks will be dynamically compressed. Dynamic range control (DRC) increases low-level audio content (such as the dialog in the movies),

making it easier to be heard at low volume levels while reducing the intensity of higher-level audio content at the same time.

"When you're listening to movie dialogue late at night and have to turn down the volume during loud scenes, the dynamic range suffers and you may miss some dialogue and other sounds. With the Night Mode on, you can reduce the volume and still enjoy proper tonal balance and dynamic range."
