Press NIGHT.
“NIGHT ON” appears in the front panel display

Note
• This effect does not work for a Super Audio CD. 
When you load a Super Audio CD during “NIGHT 
ON,” the sound effect turns off automatically.
• When sound is output from the center speaker, this 
effect is more pronounced, as speech (movie dialog, 
etc.) is easy to hear. When sound is not output from 
the center speaker, or you are using the headphones, 
the system optimally adjusts the volume.
To turn off the sound effect
Press NIGHT again.
