NIGHT MODE
1. Tap the Night on the remote control unit to
turn on the Night mode.
Setting the Night mode to “ON” compresses
the dynamic range in Dolby Digital only.
This softens loud passages such as sudden
explosions, to help prevent disturbing others
late at night.
2. To turn off the Night mode, tap the Night again.
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
"Dial 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: "Dial 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.
RE-EQ
This menu is for turning THX Cinema Re-EQ™ on
and off. The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will
be excessively bright and harsh when played back
over audio equipment in the home. This is because
film soundtracks were designed to be played back
in large movie theater environments.
Activating the Cinema Re-EQ™ mode when
watching a film made for movie theaters corrects
this and restores the correct tonal balance.
Cinema Re-EQ™ is therefore not necessary for
material that was not designed for movie theaters
(for example, sports programming, television
shows, made for TV movies, etc.).
The Cinema Re-EQ™ mode can be activated only
while in Dolby Pro Logic mode, or while decoding
Dolby Digital or DTS-encoded material.
1. Tap the “ Re EQ ” on the remote control unit to
turn on the Re-EQ™ mode.
2. To turn off the Re-EQ™ mode, tap the “ Re EQ ”
again.
Note:
• The Re-EQ™ mode can be selected from the OSD
menu system. (See page 41)
LIP.SYNC
Depending on the display component (TV, monitor,
projector, etc.) connected to the SR9600, a time lag
can occur between image signal processing and
audio signal processing. Though minor, this time
lag can interfere with movie and music enjoyment.
The Lip.Sync mode delays the audio signal with
respect to the image signal output from the SR9600
to correct the time lag between the sound and
image.
1. Tap the A/V Amp and press the page up
button until page 5/8 is displayed. Tap the “ L-
Sync ” on the remote control unit.
2. Select the time lag with the and cursor
buttons on the remote control unit.
The initial setting is “OFF” (0 ms). The time lag can
be adjusted in 10 ms increments up to 200 ms.
Watch the picture on the image device (e.g., TV,
monitor, projector, etc.) as you adjust the time lag.
Note:
• The Lip.Sync mode is set to “OFF” (0 ms) in the
Pure Direct and Source Direct mode. When the
Pure Direct (or Source Direct) mode is deactivated,
the previously set value of the Lip. Sync mode is
automatically restored.
