Sound setting for 40XBR800 |

I have a 40XBR800, just using the speakers on the tv. Since we've had it, it has always seemed like the non-dialogue sounds have been louder than the dialogue...if that makes any sense. What happens is that when there is talking going on, we have to turn it up, and then if a series of action/non-speaking scenes comes up it is way too loud.
It was always just a minor annoyance, but I'm tired of it. It finally occured to me that it could be the bass/treble/etc settings (I never said I wasn't clueless!), which are currently set here:
Treble: right about in the middle
Bass: right about in the middle
balance: in the middle
steady sound: off
effect: off
speaker: on
Any tips?

This is the first time that I have heard that problem. There is nothing wrong with the settings that you listed, but what about "Effect" and "MTS"? Is Effect set to TruSurrond and MTS set to Stereo? Its hard to believe that there is a problem with the TV, beacause it only has left, right and woofer speakers. In orther words, the same audio channels are used for both dialog and non-dialog. There is nothing in the TV that distiguishes between dialog and non-dialog. Its not uncommon for the sound level to vary between normal programming and commercials.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
"Effect" is set to "Off". It appears my choices for 'effect' are "TruSurround", "Simulated", or "Off". You seem to be saying that most people have effect set to trusurround, yes?
"MTS" isn't something I can find anywhere. Oh wait, heh, there
it is. It is grey'ed out, so I can't highlight it or change it. But it says, "MTS: Stereo".
I know this sounds like a bizzare problem, but after a couple years
now, I'm convinced its not my imagination.

I am sure that it is not your imagination. I would try setting "Effect" to "TruSurround" for a while and to "Simulated" for a while. Perhaps one of the two is the answer. I have "TruSurround" selected, but it is academic because I don't use the TV's speakers. I only use the speakers connected to my sound system. Its much simpler to deal with.
