Why do all these 20-somethings have closed captions turned on?

I wish my Denon AVR had a usable night mode. Instead it has a setting called "dynamic volume" that makes it so all dialog right after an explosion is inaudible...

I believe what you'd call night mode is called "Dynamic EQ" on the Denons.

This basically adds more bass and treble as you lower the volume, due to the way the ear works - the Fletcher Munson curve.

This still won't help with the terrible excess dynamic range that current movies insist on doing though.

You'll still have to adjust the volume all the time, but it will make things sound much better at lower volumes.

Unhelpful but probably accurate.
