PLAYBACK
For example, if you see the following message:
"Dial Norm + 4 dB" in the front panel display, to keep the
overall output level at THX calibrated loudness, just tum
down the volume control by 4dB. However, unlike a
movie theater where the playback loudness is preset, you
can choose your preferred volume setting for best
enjoyment.
• Notes on Dialogue Normalization
(Dial Norm)
Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is a feature of Dolby
Digital and DTS, which is used to keep the programs at
the same average listening level so the user does not have
to change the volume control between Dolby Digital and
DTS programs. When playing back software which has
been encoded in Dolby Digital and DTS, sometimes you
may see a brief message in the front panel display which
will read "Dial Norm X dB" (X being a numeric value).
The display is showing how the program level relates with
THX calibration level. If you want to play the program at
calibrated theatrical levels, you may wish to adjust the
volume.
