Dialog Normalization
In the first Dolby Digital setup page, press button #
6
to set the dialog normalization value. Dolby Digital contains the
useful provision for making all Dolby Digital sources have the same perceived loudness even though they may have
been recorded or mixed at very different levels. This is done by embedding in the datastream a value that the
program material will need to be adjusted by to conform to an average dialog level established by Dolby
Laboratories. It should be noted that all channels are adjusted, not just the center channel. Casablanca III contains
two options for this setting:
ANLG
(analog) or
DIGI
(digital). Please refer to page 62 for additional information
pertaining to Dialog Normalization.
From the
SETUP
/
ACTIVE
INPUT SETTINGS Page 2
/
DOLBY DIGITAL
sub menu, press the
A-D
button once to
access page 2 of the Dolby Digital set up submenu, which is shown in figure 92.
This submenu allows the user to adjust the center and individual
surround speaker delays and levels as well as control the LFE gain
when the current mode is Dolby Digital.
The center and surround levels are relative to the level values set in
the
SETUP
/
INPUT
/
LEVELS
sub menu. As an example, if the center
speaker level in the
SETUP
/
INPUT
/
LEVELS
sub menu is set to
+5
,
and in this sub menu it is set to
+3
, then the total center level when the
MODE
for the currently selected input is Dolby Digital, will be +8.

submenu in the same
fashion that the two levels menus do, explained above. Again, this applies ONLY when the current mode is Dolby
Digital.
Button #
5
controls the
LFE
gain setting for Dolby Digital sources. Dolby Digital sources usually contain an LFE (low
frequency effects) channel. This channel commonly contains sound effects such as explosions but may also contain
soundtrack information. Casablanca III offers the user an
LFE
range of between
0
and
-30
for this setting, as well as
OFF
. Please refer to page 63 for more detailed information about using this parameter.
Press the
SETUP
button three times returns to the main
INPUT SELECT
page.
