Sound levels HD LCD TV

by cullism Aug 4, 2009 7:59AM PDT

I have a six month old Samsung 101cm High Definition LCD TV (Model No. LA40A550P1F). Normal sound (from TV channels) and sound from VCR is fine, but with DVDs I have to have the volume set at 100%. Even then it is not quite loud enough. This applied to my old DVD player (audio/visual cables) and now applies to my new Blu-Ray player (HDMI cable). Can anyone advise?

Sound levels HD LCD TV

cullism,

I'm not sure. In one instance, an analog signal (VCR) works, but then a different audio/digital instance doesn't. I'm not sure I have an explanation. Does anyone else have any ideas?

Sound Levels

I should point out that the VCR, DVD player and Blu-Ray player all connect to the TV in different ways (ie audio/video cable and HDMI cable).

Someone on the After Dawn Samsung forum advised me to change the audio stream to two channel. I changed it to multiple channel (on the Bl-Ray)and the sound has improved. Possibly coincidentally I found that the TV had been de-programmed and I had to set all the channels again.
