The sound always jumps up in loudness during commercials and often jumps up in volume when changing a TV from one channel to another. There are things called auto volume leveler and SmartSound, but they seem to do one or the other but not both. TV salesmen seem to be very poorly informed about the sound leveling programs and devices in their big screen TVs. Please help! I need a TV that does not jump up in volume during commercials or when changing from one channel to another.
How can I buy a big screen TV that levels out the sound for commercials and also for changes of the channel?
My cable box had an audio setting called %26quot;Dynamic Range Compression%26quot;. When set to MAXIMUM - it keeps the volume in a narrower range. This solve the problem for me.

buy a better tv. those features work better on higher models, I went through 2 LCD tv's and settled on a DLP, i got slightly less technology for close to the same price, but the difference was that all those features, the smart sound, the auto leveler, the fine tune features, actually worked. another thing that affects the channel changing is if you are using a cable box, and a surround sound system, you have to find the perfect levels on your aux. items first, and never ever adjust them, so for instance, find a perfect level on ur cable box, then never use that for volume again, the reason being is that greatly alters your TV's effectiveness.
Buy a new reciever that has the Audyssey Dynamic EQ feature. It just came out this year. the cheapest reciever to get this feature is on the Onkyo 606 (cost about 400.00).
Radio shack also sells seperate box that does an okay job on this, but only effects the volume if using a seperate reciever, it will not work on your TV's speakers.
