Many TVs now have equalizers built in. Check the audio menu for one, alot of people have it and don't even know it.

If you live in an area where TV has gone digital and you have an older TV, if it has video jacks and your convertor or cable box has video out, the equalizer can go right between there.

Another thing is that most TV speakers suck. If you have a regular stereo for music, try hooking that up. There should be some source of audio smewhere, even if you have to dig ut an ancient VCR that has an NTSC tuner or something like that.

Another big problem with TV sound is the mixing. The music is too loud and the dialogue too soft, and there is too much ambience. Sometimes it helps to switch it to mono.

Thanks for responding. The sound goes into my receiver which is
connected to a full-blown surround sound system. You are
correct, sometimes it is easier to hear speech with
mono or two channel stereo.
