2Dialog normalization

The dialog normalization function is activated automatically when playing Dolby Digital program sources.

Dialog normalization is a basic function of Dolby Digital which automatically normalizes the dialog level (standard level) of the signals which are recorded at different levels for different program sources, such as DVD, DTV and other future formats that will use Dolby Digital.

These contents can be verified with the STATUS or ON SCREEN buttons.
