I don't use "Night Mode". If the folks next door don't like what's playing they should have suggested somethig else before I got in to it.

I've never had a problem that would require theater compensation, but I think it'd be good to have just in case. However, I have had plenty of times where I was wishing the dynamic range was not quite so wide. Like in LOTR, the music just comes on SO LOUD. Even before thinking of the neighbors, it's just not comfortable with it THAT loud because I have to keep it turned up a bit to hear the quiet sections. I just want to watch the movie. I don't want to have to have an itchy trigger finger on the volume control.

I have on occasion used the Night Mode and it would be convenient on the remote but it should not be held in memory as a fixed state. I would like to see it revert back to OFF when the system is powered down.

I think night mode on the remote as well as an indicator somewhere on the display of the unit to see if it is on or off. Additionally, I would like to second Keta's idea that Night mode should only last as long as the unit is powered on. Nice idea, that.

I think night mode on the remote for reasons already stated.
Oh and FYI for some reason I can't vote in the poll.

I'm single and live alone ... TC on the remote would be my current pref. however, if I consider others ... my dad likes to watch tv/dvds after mom goes to bed (I helped them set up a mini-ht in their new condo) and I can see the NM being more useful to them ... and my dad and menu's do NOT mix, so ... so what kind of DVD's up for grabs here? movie? concert? a four foot trade show mock up? :p

I voted for Night Mode being available on the remote. As a owner of a 1050, I find myself not even experimenting with it since I would have to get up to engage it. If it's on the remote, it becomes much more useful and intriguing. This was stated above in another way but theater compensation is a very advanced option. It's also the type of option that if you're going to use it, you'll probably take the time to seek it out of a menu system. Night mode, on the other hand, is the type of mode that when called for, you'll probably want to find it a little quicker before others around you get more insistent about having it on.
