When playing some Dolby Digital sources, you may see in the display
a message "DIALNORM OFFSET xxdB". This is because some
soundtracks may be recorded either louder or quieter than normal. The
xx number shows by how much.
For example, if the message says “DIALNORM 4dB” you
know that this particular recording was encoded 4dB louder than
normal. If you wish, you can turn down the volume control by 4dB to
keep the playback level consistent.
