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 on the FL display which will read "D-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: "D-NORM + 4 dB" on the FL 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 on the FL display, then no adjustment of the volume control is necessary.

VIDEO ON/OFF

When no video signal is connected to the unit or a DVD, etc., is connected directly to your TV, the unnecessary video circuit can be turned off by selecting the “VIDEO OFF” setting.

To select video off, press the AMP button and press the V.OFF button.

The “V-OFF” indicator on the front display panel will light.
