Late Night
The LATE NIGHT Push-button turns a volume compres-
sion circuit On and Off. This feature suppresses loud
sounds or music that might disturb neighbors or others not
in the immediate area of the Home Theater. Soft levels are
also raised slightly so they are still listenable at reduced
overall volume levels. This works only on a Dolby Digital
Sound Track with encoded data that supports the compres-
sion function.
Reset of Microprocessors
In the event that the controls of the MX135 stop function-
ing, there is a built-in user reset function. Press the
POWER Switch to OFF and wait for two minutes. Then
Press the POWER Switch to ON. This will reset the
MX135 microprocessors. Refer to figure 32.
Note: The above condition is usually caused by either
interruptions in AC power and/or major changes in
voltage.
