Note:

When playing a Dolby Digital source, the message “Dia- log Norm xx” may appear on the display, “xx” being a number. Dialog normalization is a function of Dolby Digital that is used to correct the playback level of soundtracks that have been recorded at an unusually high or low level. It works automatically and no user interven- tion is required. It appears on the display just to let you know that it’s working. It’s unaffected by the DTR-8.4’s volume control.
