Using the volume mode

(Night listening enhancer/TV volume equal mode)

The night listening enhancers are designed to improve listenability at lower volumes or at night. In addition, you can limit the volume level of the TV so that it will not vary suddenly to a great extent whenever the contents being broadcast change (i.e. due to commercials, etc.).
