I just purchased a home theater system and I have a problem that was severely exacerbated by the sound system.


I have HDTV through Comcast with a motorola box. My problem is that the sound varies tremendously from channel to channel, especially from HD to standard. IT makes the system almost not worth using when watching TV.


Is there any way to regulate, standardize, or equalize the volume so I don't have to play with the volume every time I switch channels?

No

I'm going to try one of those Terk equalizers. Anyone have experience with them? I'll post mine soon.

It might address some volume leveling issues on a given channel, but it will not fix channel-to-channel differences.


Also, if you are using a coaxial or optical connection to pass digital signal from your STB to the receiver, you are SOL because the Terk does only stereo/2-ch operation. But, again, I don't believe it will address the issue you describe.

You might want to call Comcast and complain. They have final control of the audio levels of the channels. The only way to resolve this is to get Comcast to fix it.


Good luck...

Or the FCC.
