Notes

•When you select an input source, this unit automatically selects the last sound field program used with that source.
•Sound field programs cannot be selected when the MULTI CH INPUT is selected.
■Notes on Dialogue Normalization
(Dial Norm)
Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is a feature of Dolby Digital and DTS, which is used to keep the programs at the same average listening level so the user does not have to change the volume control between Dolby Digital and DTS programs. When playing back software which has been encoded in Dolby Digital and DTS, sometimes you may see a brief message in the front panel display which will read “Dial Norm X dB” (X being a numeric value). The display is showing how the program level relates with THX calibration level. If you want to play the program at calibrated theatrical levels, you may wish to adjust the volume.
DialNorm;;+4dB
For example, if you see the following message:
“Dial Norm + 4 dB” in the front panel display, to keep the overall output level at THX calibrated loudness, just turn down the volume control by 4dB. However, unlike a movie theater where the playback loudness is preset, you can choose your preferred volume setting for best enjoyment.
