Y When you play the Dolby digital or DTS Surround source, the
receiver automatically enters Dolby Digital Surround (stereo) or
DTS Surround (stereo) mode respectively.
THX
Movies which have been encoded in Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG
and Dolby Pro Logic can all benefit by activating the THX mode.
THX should be activated only when watching movies which were
mixed for playback in large movie theatre environments. THX need
not be activated for music, movies that were made especially for
television or shows such as sports programming, talk shows, etc.
This is because they were mixed in a small room environment.
Dial norm
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 in the front panel
display which will read Dial Norm XdB (X being a numeric value).
Dialogue Normalization serves to let you know if the source mate-
rial has been recorded at a higher or lower level than usual. For
example, if you see the following message: Dial Norm +4dB in the
front panel display, to keep the overall output level constant just
turn down the volume control by 4dB. In other words, the source
material that you are listening to has been recorded 4dB louder than
usual. If you do not see a message, then no adjustment of the volume
control is necessary.
