About Dialog Normalization

Dialog Normalization is one of the standard functions for Dolby Digital and its level is encoded together with the audio signals. With this function, the sound output level of Dolby Digital software can be kept at almost the same level even if the recording levels differ among software.

THX also has the same function and its own standard level, which is different from that for Dolby Digital.

If you see a message in the main display that shows “DIAL. NORM: XX (number)” this means that the source material that you are listening to has been encoded at a higher or lower level than normal. To keep the volume level consistent from program to program, adjust the volume control by the amount (XX) in this message.

•Ex: If the display reads “DIAL. NORM: +4”, turn down the volume control by 4 dB.

Activating the 7.1-channel reproduction

For multi-channel digital software, you can activate the 7.1-channel reproduction mode.

•Once you have set 7.1-channel reproduction mode, it is stored in memory and will be called up whenever you activate the Surround mode or THX mode which the memorized 7.1-channel reproduction mode can be applied to.

Press EX/ES/7.1 to select an appropriate setting for your enjoyment.

The currently selected 7.1-channel reproduction mode appears on the display.

•Each time you press the button, it changes as follows:
