I just recalled putting a Dolby encoder in an FM station circa 1984 that had
to be set with a "calibration level tone." Was that the first attempt at "dial
norm?" I doubt anyone uses that anymore, and so far DN seems to be the same
loudness wars scoundrel that plagued radio. I turned it off on my home TV
because it was so annoying turning the volume up/down to cancel the slow AGC
changes during/between programs.
