82.0 Ref?

[Squishman]

I just bought a funky jazz LP so I wanted to crank it up. It's Stanley Clarke's "School Days". So turning up the volume on my RZ50, the display as it gets to 82 says "Volume 82.0Ref" for a second, then reverts to 82.0. What does that mean? I have an Emotiva external amp hooked up it it matters.

For content mixed to the THX standard (generally movies), 82 on the absolute scale you're using on the Onkyo is considered THX level. If using the relative scale then it would be "0"
