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.
• Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is a feature of Dolby Digital. It is able
to automatically maintain the overall audio output level constant. 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, “DIALNORM OFFSET +4 dB”
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.
DVD 6-channel playback
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels and
the receiver, you can enjoy surround sound playback.
When you try to play a disc other than Dolby Digital such as DTS CD, no
sound is produced or, noise may be heard. To avoid this situation, make
sure that you connect the component to the receiver’s DVD/6CH INPUT
jacks through a surround processor which can decode the surround
signal you want to listen to.
Connecting a DVD player which can decode the surround signal itself is
also acceptable.
