(2) 2ch source • OFF: Playback is conducted without using the surround back speaker. • ON: Playback is conducted using the surround back speaker. This operation can be performed directly by pressing the SURROUND BACK button. 2 Checking the input signal The input signal can be checked by pressing the remote control unit's ON SCREEN button. SIGNAL: Displays the type of signal (DTS, DOLBY DIGITAL, PCM, etc.). fs: Displays the input signal's sampling frequency. FORMAT: Displays the input signal's number of channels. "Number of front channels/Number of surround channels/ LFE on/off". "SURROUND" is displayed for 2-channel signal sources recorded in Dolby Surround. OFFSET: Displays the dialog normalization offset value. FLAG: Displays the special identification signal recorded in the input signal. "MATRIX" is displayed when matrix processing is conducted on the surround back channel, "DISCRETE" is displayed when discrete processing is conducted. Not displayed if an identification signal has not been recorded. • In addition, screen information is displayed in the following order when the ON SCREEN button is pressed repeatedly: OSD-1 Input signal OSD-2 Input/output OSD-3 Auto surround mode OSD-4~10 Tuner preset stations Basic Operation 2 Dialog normalization The dialog normalization function is activated automatically when playing Dolby Digital program sources. Dialog normalization is a basic function of Dolby Digital which automatically normalizes the dialog level (standard level) of the signals which are recorded at different levels for different program sources, such as DVD, DTV and other future formats that will use Dolby Digital. These contents can be verified with the STATUS or ON SCREEN buttons. Display OFFSET - 4dB The number indicates the normalization level when the currently playing program is normalized to the standard level. Night mode When listening at night or at lower volumes, the night mode improves listenability. Press and hold the STANDARD/NIGHT button for several seconds to enter the night mode. • Canceling night mode: Press and hold the STANDARD/NIGHT button again. • The night mode only works when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS. NOTE: • OSD-3: This is displayed when the auto surround mode is set to "ON" and the input mode is set to "Auto". It is not displayed when the input mode is set to "Analog" or "EXT. IN". 24 ENGLISH
