NAMES AND FUNCTION BASIC CONNECTIONS BASIC OPERATION ADVANCED CONNECTIONS SELECTING THE SURROUND MODE Example: AUTO SURROUND ENGLISH 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. 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. DOLBY HEADPHONE MODE This feature simulates the waveforms of the actual sounds heard from the speakers. When headphones are used, the MENU button automatically switches to the Dolby headphone mode. The OSD that appears when the MENU button is pressed is shown below.

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. 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 NIGHT AUTO AUTO mode is available when decording Dolby TrueHD signals.
