Vizio SRS – I have absolutely NO sound problems, August 5, 2010

I have this TV and enjoy the sound and picture quality. I’m a soundaholic. If you’ve never had a stereo or srs/home theater sound… it DOES take some time to adjust. The sound can be *VERY INTENSE*.

I suggest you adjust the sound; turn the TruSurround HD sound *TO OFF*, but do leave the TruVolumn *ON* (you can enter the graphic equalizer presets) use these to set the quality sound you enjoy most. When you do this it’s of course ‘best’ to be playing music, music dvd IS BEST.

If you SET the preset equalizer setting to *FLAT OR OFF*… you will be able to enter and customize the settings on your (*bass & treble*) levels.

Don’t hesitate to play around with the sound settings, one click will return it to the factory settings.

You will require a lower volumn level, significantly lower… the audio quality IS dynamic and intense for this TV.

Sound is great! Check the SRS TruVolume settings!, November 26, 2010

Anna Mary Jordan (Tennessee) – See all my reviews

  

I think that the Vizio folks should have made the default to OFF on the SRS TruVolume. If they had I think several of the owners would not be experiencing the issues with the sound. I set mine up, read the reviews, turned OFF the SRS TruVolume feature and now the sound is fine.

I’m not sure how high the volume will go. I’ve got mine on “2″ and it is plenty loud and very clear.

I purchased this to use with my new Xbox 360 with Kinect. I’m replacing a 19″ Sanyo that was purchased in 1989 by my older brother. So, maybe my expectations are not very high…for 9 I’m pleased and it is a tremendous step up from what I had.

There are definitely sound issues with this model, November 11, 2010

I got this on a Gold Box deal. This was to be used in the sunroom…which we could fit a 26 or a 32 in the spot. I also bought two Vizio Razor LED 26″ http://www.amazon.com/VIZIO-M260VA-26-Inch-Class-RazorLED/dp/B003LL17HK at the same time for bedrooms (all pre-black Friday specials).

Living with all of them for four days…and I can see why this is rated 3/5 stars. 3 stars is generous.

I am using cable through RF. No cable box. The sound issues I noticed is flipping between standard definition channels and HD channels. For example, watching two football games. If I go from an SD channel like ESPN to HD (local ABC), the sound on the HD channel is much lower. I have to jack the volume up on the HD channel, then when I flip back to ESPN, it’s way too loud.

ABC HD is 13-1 and ABC SD is 13. I proved the sound issue flipping back and forth between the two while a song was playing on the station… huge difference in sound…
