How to prevent sudden volume changes on your TV when switching TV channels, apps, or external inputs

Advanced auto volume automatically improves large volume level differences in the following cases:

• Commercials and actual broadcast
• Each broadcasting station
• Broadcast (Digital/Analogue)
  *Available countries/regions only
• Each external input

This setting automatically adjusts the volume to a fixed level that matches the volume changes of the broadcast and input signal. It's an effective setting when, for instance, the volume of commercials feels louder than the volume of the programme.

Volume offset adjusts the volume level of the current input relative to other inputs.
This setting is related to the speaker volume of the BRAVIA TV. Therefore, the volume of headphones and external outputs cannot be adjusted. Also, if the audio level is low even though the surround function is enabled, disable the surround function.
