Notes
• Depending on the type of the signal or speaker setting, some listening
modes cannot be selected.
• When playback is started, the sound may be cut or interrupted before
the input source is confirmed as Dolby Digital.
• To enjoy Dolby Digital surround (as well as all the other listening
modes) from a single component, be sure to use a Dolby Digital
compatible source component. Connect the Dolby Digital compatible
source component's Dolby Digital format digital audio signal to one
of the
DIGITAL INPUT
jacks on the back of the receiver. Connect the
normal audio signal correctly to the respective component's
AUDIO
jacks.

Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm)
is a feature of Dolby Digital. It
is able to automatically maintain the overall audio output level con-
stant. When playing source material with Dolby Digital software
encoding, a brief message will appear.
This message informs you that the source material has been recorded
at a different level than usual. For example,
“4”
will scroll
across the display to indicate that it had been automatically adjusted
to the normal output. If this message does not appear, no adjustment
will be made.
• If Dolby Digital or DTS signal having more channels than the maxi-
mum number of playback channels available using the receiver’s
current settings is input, the DOWNMIX indicator on the front panel
lights up and downmixing is performed to match the number of
available channels.
