From what I understand, reading posts on AVS Forum and the Denon 3808 instruction manual addendum, the Audyssey Dynamic Volume is just that - you set the volume to the level you want and it then compresses/limits/expands as necessary to keep that level you set - sort of the thing that Dolby originally intended with Dialog Normalization, but they never really got it to work right or mastering engineers to set the correct dial norm values (and they still are often not set right or consistently)
BTW, it's bizzare to see many DTS encoded titles on DVD and Blu-ray sporting Dial Norm values now - in fact, until I was given the Denon 3808, I didn't even know DTS had implemented Dialog Normalization. I so associate Dial Norm with Dolby AC-3, and DTS used to screech about how unnecessary it was, that it just seems strange to see DTS Dial Norm -4 on the display
