Hi
This drove me crazy.
When a commercial would come on it would almost blow me out of my chair if I was running the sound through my audio system.
But they have trained me, I have gotten very fast with the mute button.
If everyone would use their Mute Button and make a big deal about it online maybe they would get the message that we aren't listening to their message because, It is too loud!!!
Then I could go back to watching TV without having the controller close at hand.
I just saw SuzzySunshines post, I too have a setting for automatic volume control, I thought on was the way to have it control the volume of commercials I'll try turning mine off too.
