Dialogue Normalization
Dialogue Normalization (Dialog Norm) is a feature of Dolby Digital, 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, Dolby Digital
Plus and Dolby TrueHD programs. When playing back software which has been encoded in Dolby Digital, Dolby
Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD, sometimes you may see a brief message in the front panel display which will read
“Dialog 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. For
example, if you see the following message: “Dialog Norm + 4 dB” in the front panel display, to keep the overall
output level at THX calibrated loudness, just turn down the volume control by 4 dB. However, unlike a movie theater
where the playback loudness is preset, you can choose your preferred volume setting for best enjoyment.
