When playing a Laserdisc that only has an analog soundtrack, press the

The procedure for playing a DSS receiver is just like any other
audio/video source except that if your DSS receiver has a digital audio

(P)
.
If your DSS receiver only has analog audio outputs, press the DSS
button on the remote
(Q)

Late Night Listening
Digital sources like DVD and Laserdiscs offer the advantage of greater
dynamic range than analog sources. That means that the contrast is
greater between the softest sounds and the loudest sounds on the
recording. Wide dynamic range is a great benefit—except when you
are watching a movie and other people in the house are trying to sleep.
In such circumstances, just push the LATE NIGHT button
(R)
on the
RMDS remote and the dynamic range will be reduced so that you can
turn up the volume loud enough to hear the dialog without having the
peak sounds get too loud. Once again, domestic harmony is restored
thanks to Polk.
