This permits simultaneous viewing and listening to different sources. • When a video source is selected, the selected video signal is output from the MONITOR OUT terminal. 40 SELECTING THE SURROUND MODE Example: AUTO SURROUND AV SURROUND RECEIVER SR8001 INPUT SELECTOR PURE DIRECT DSD DISP MULTI AUTO TUNED SLEEP AUTO SURR DIRECT STANDBY POWER ON/STANDBY PHONES SURROUND MODE AUTO MULTI MUL SPEAK PURE DIRECT THX 7.1CH INPUT MENU USE PAGE 1 2 3 4 M D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 CH 7.1CH 4 DISP 7 CLEAR ATT 5 OSD 8 0 VOL SPK-AB 6 SLEEP 9 MEMO TUNER CD CD-R MD TAPE 1 AUX1 AUX2 LIGHT RC8001SR Learning Remote Controller AMP 2 (Using the SR7001) To select the Auto surround mode during playback, press the AUTO button on the front panel.

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 "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" 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.
