To temporarily silence all speaker outputs such as when interrupted by a phone call, press the MUTE button on the front panel or H button on the remote.

This will interrupt the output to all speakers and the head-phone jack, but it will not affect any recording or dubbing that may be in progress. When the system is muted, the display will show “MUTE” .

Press the MUTE button again to return to normal operation.

USING THE SLEEP TIMER

To program the SR9300 for automatic standby, press SLEEP buton or tap the Sleep on the remote.

Each press of the button will increase the time before shut down in the following sequence.

OFF 10 20 30 40

90 80 70 60 50

The sleep time will be shown for a few seconds in the display on the front panel, and it will count down until the time has elapsed.

When the programmed sleep time has elapsed, the unit will automatically turn off.

Note that the SLEEP indicator on the display will light up when the Sleep function is programmed.

To cancel the Sleep function, press the Sleep button until the display shows to “SLEEP OFF” and the SLEEP indicator disappear.

NIGHT MODE

Tap the Night to turn on the 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.

To turn off the Night mode, tap the Night button again.

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.
