Switching the Display

While listening to or watching an input source, you can display information regarding the type of source and sig- nal being input.

RDC-7.1	Press the [Display] button on the
Display	RDC-7.1.
Remote	On the remote controller, press the
	scroll wheel, and then press the
controller	[Display] button.

When an input source other than FM or AM is selected:

Input

Program format*

Custom name

Listening mode

*When the input signal is digital audio other than PCM

The program format is displayed. For example, the dis- play “Dolby D: 3/2.1” shows that the format is Dolby Digital with 5.1 discrete channels consisting of three front channels (front left, front right, and center), two surround channels (surround left and surround right), and the low frequency effect (LFE) channel.

When the front channel number is 2, they are the front left and front right; when it is 1, it is monaural. When the sur- round channel number is 1, it is monaural; when it is 0, there is no surround channel. When no LFE number is given, there is no LFE channel. Also, if there is no program format for the input signal, nothing will be displayed.

When the input signal is linear PCM

The sampling frequency is displayed. For example, the display “PCM fs: 44.1k” shows that the signal is PCM and that the sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz.

Dialog norm

Dialogue Normalization (Dialog Norm) is a feature of Dolby Digital. When playing back software that has been encoded in Dolby Digital, sometimes you may see a brief message in the front panel display that reads Dia- log Norm xdB (“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 message “Dialog Norm: +4” in the front panel display, to keep the overall output level constant the output volume has been auto- matically decreased by 4 dB. In other words, the source material that you are listening to has been recorded 4 dB louder than usual.

When FM or AM is selected as the input source:
