SELECTING THE SURROUND MODE

SELECTING THE SURROUND MODE

Example: AUTO SURROUND

(Using the unit)

To select the Auto surround mode during playback, press the AUTO button on the front panel.

(Using the remote controller)

To select the Auto surround mode, press the AMP button and press the AUTO button.

For surround modes, see “Surround Mode” on page 78.

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.

NIGHT MODE

Useful at night or when loud noise is undesirable, this mode compresses the dynamic range, making it easier to hear quieter audio content without increasing the overall volume.

Note that the effect of night mode is determined by the Dolby Digital content. Night mode may have no effect with content that does not support this function.

1. To select this mode, press the AMP button on the remote controller.

2. Each time the NIGHT button is pressed, the mode changes according to the following options indicated on the front of the unit.

• AUTO Mode

N I G H T A U T O

AUTO mode is available when decording Dolby TrueHD signals.

When night mode is activated, “NIGHT” is illuminated on the front of the unit. (See page 6)

NIGHT Mode ON

N I G H T O N

Setting the Night mode to “ON” compresses the dynamic range in Dolby Digital only.

• NIGHT Mode OFF

N I G H T O F F

Turn off the Night mode.

LISTENING THROUGH HEADPHONES

This jack may be used to listen to the unit’s output through a pair of headphones. Be certain that the headphones have a standard 1/4” stereo phono plug.

Note that the speakers will automatically be turned off when the headphone jack is in use.

Note:

When using headphones, the surround mode will change to STEREO and Dolby Headphone by MENU and Cursor button.

The surround mode returns to the previous setting as soon as the headphone plug is removed from the jack.
