4.5 VOLUME CONTROL
Front Panel:
MAIN – Adjust using the Master Control Knob. If levels have been
calibrated according to setup instructions, set volume to 0 dB for the
playback level at which the film was presented in theaters.
ZONE2 or ZONE3 – Press ZONE2 or ZONE3, then adjust.
HEADPHONE – While in MAIN, press FRONTS twice, then adjust.
Remote Control:
After the appropriate control mode is set, use the VOL+ and VOL keys.
Mute:
When MUTE is pressed, the audio of the selected path is silenced or reduced in level according to the
Volumes setup menu. To un-mute, press MUTE again or adjust volume.
Dialog Normalization:
Dolby Digital program material contains non-audio data which the processor uses to adjust playback level,
when necessary, so volume variations between movies and programs are eliminated. Without Dialog
Normalization, movies not encoded at standardized levels for the dialog could lose dynamic range – higher
levels can result in distorted peaks, lower levels can result in quiet sounds disappearing into the noise floor.
Dialog Normalization also ensures that Dynamics control (section 4.8.10) works as intended.
If the display reads “Dial Norm Offset -4.0 dB” at the start of a movie, it is indicating that the encoded level
is higher than standard by 4.0 dB – the playback level of all channels is then automatically reduced by 4 dB.
4.6 LEVEL TRIM
If a speaker group occasionally sounds too loud or soft, its level can be adjusted on the fly. Settings are
memorized according to input format. Adjust using the Master Control Knob or
56
on the remote:
• Fronts: Press FRONT • HPH then adjust (this changes left, center, and right).
• Center: Press CENTER then adjust.
• Surrounds: Press SUR • REAR then adjust.
• Rears: Press SUR • REAR twice then adjust.
• Subwoofer: Press SUB • LFE then adjust.
• LFE: Press SUB • LFE twice then adjust – this reduces LFE level without
affecting bass from other channels. Early DTS material may need LFE
reduced to -10 dB.
To reset all to 0 dB, see section 3.13.
When listening in stereo with front speakers set to large, the subwoofer must be set to Super in the
speaker configuration if you want it to play.
