Dialog Normalization

27 November 2008, 16:35 Thursday

My Integra AV preamp is automatically making adjustments I don't want it to make. It flashes a sign like "Dialog Norm +4" when I switch to a different channel or source and I really don't want it making automatic adjustments like this. I can't remember turning on the dialog normalization function and after going through the entire instruction manual, I can't figure out how to turn it off.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. The model is the DTC-9.8...thanks in advance.

Integrated 7.1 HT and Two-Channel System
Pioneer KRP-600M | VAC Phi Beta 110i | to be determined front end
B&W 802D | B&W HTM1D | B&W ASW-825 | B&W N805 | B&W SCM1
VPI Scout | Oppo BDP-95 | Tivo Series 3 | Integra DTC-9.8
Audio Refinement Multi-5 | PS Audio Premier | Goertz and Electra Glide cables

Gremal,

No worries. It is normal operation and a standard part of the Dolby decoding spec. The only thing is, some pre/pros and receivers will display it's actually happining, others will not.
