SELECTING THE SURROUND MODE

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.
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.

To select this mode, press the AMP button on
