Smart Volume Normalization

Smart Volume NormalizationTM (SVN) automatically keeps all music or video/TV audio output at

a constant level to reduce manual adjustment hassles inherent with sound sources of different

loudness. It allows you to listen to various content, like MP, TV program, DVD video and even

games with consistent sound level. The following graph shows how different signals 1 & adjust to

the same level (for example, 10dB below full scale) after you turn on SVN. Please note that for lower

volume ,music becomes louder when you turn on SVN and for higher volume, music 1 becomes

quieter.
