There's a "NIGHT" button on the 1050's face. It's a round button in the bottom edge, near the left side. That will turn night mode on and off. As for what it does, it is supposed to preserve dialog clarity and volume but reduce the level of "loud" stuff (such as explosions). According to the manual, it only works for Dolby Digital audio, so trying to turn it on or off while listening to any source other than a DVD will probably not seem to do anything -- not even turn on the "NIGHT MODE" indicator on the front.
