Notes on Dialogue Normalization
(Dial Norm)
Dialogue Normalization (Dial 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 programs.
When playing back software which has been encoded in
Dolby Digital, 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.
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 turn
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.
