In most cases the volume levels com­
ing from broadcast programming or
commercials are never the same.
With the AVL control turned ON,
you can have the TV level out the

sound being heard. This makes for a
more consistent sound by reducing
the peaks and valleys that occur dur­
ing program changes or commercial
breaks.

Remember,

SmartSound works
only with the programs
coming through the 75 il
input jack on the rear of the
TV (RF audio). It will not
control the sound levels for
the External connections.
