Chapter 6: Using the TV’s features

The StableSound® feature limits the highest volume level to prevent extreme changes in volume when the signal source changes (for example, to prevent the sudden increase in volume that often happens when a TV program switches to a commercial).

To turn on the StableSound® feature:

3 In the Optical Output Format field, select either Dolby Digital or PCM, depending on your device.
