I don't know all the techno gabble of this thing here, but Lets Assume:
Your TV is fine
Your cable, sattelite dish is fine etc.
And you have the TV Volume set to normal to start. Right Normal Viewing
Here is a neat fact from the World of Sound Engineering (no technical terms):
Have you noticed that Some channels do sound diff'rent than others on TV?
Some sound louder or blare out and others sound real soft, meaning you have to compensate by adjusting your TV volume up or down as you surf diff'rent channels.
For example Check out Fox Network when a news show like Hannity & Colmes is on or the Shopping channels where they sell baseball cards; they really blare out at you.
Also I have noticed that the sound when Cheers is on seems more softer (subdued?) than the other channels, meaning I have to turn the volume up from..Normal..just to hear it.
Why is it you have to adjust the volume on your TV constantly as you surf?
Apparently as Buddy Berkman on the Brady Bunch Johnny Bravo ep said to Greg I will say:
That the sound engineers do:
Electronic sleight of hand.
Its amazing really for the techs can manipulate the audio to sound louder or softer on certain channels. The FCC has limits as to how loud in decibals a program can broadcast, but anyway through technology, the volume can sound louder on some channels (or softer) even though you KNOW the volume of your TV set is normal. Without actually increasing the decibal level at broadcast!
And now that I confused the readers:
Try surfing the channels on Normal Volume and listen to how each channel sounds (louder? or softer?) and make a note of it. Interesting isn't it? Even more so than Greg "fitting the suit" which was Righteous to the Brady Grid and the Marrow that is the Bones!
But Greater Righteousness is in the Engineering Technology in the World of:
Sound.
Right 4:00 on the dubdown.
