NIGHT MODE

Selecting the Night Mode ON is effective in Dolby Digital only, and it compresses the dynamic range.

This softens loud passages such as sudden explosions, to help prevent disturbing others late at night.

DIALOGUE NORMALIZATION MESSAGE

Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is a feature of Dolby Digital. When playing back software which has been encoded in Dolby Digital, sometimes you may see a brief message in the front panel display which will read "Dial Norm X dB" (X being a numeric value). Dialogue Normalization serves to let you know if the source material has been recorded at a higher or lower level than usual. For example, if you see the following message: "Dial Norm + 4 dB" in the front panel display, to keep the overall output level constant just turn down the volume control by 4 dB. In other words, the source material that you are listening to has been recorded 4 dB louder than usual.

If you do not see a message in the front panel display, then no adjustment of the volume control is necessary.
