mal viewing, press the any button.

Auto Volume makes sure that the volume level remains consistent whether you are watching a commercial or a
regular TV program.
Because each broadcasting station has its own signal conditions, volume adjustment may be needed every
time the channel is changed. This feature allows users to enjoy stable volume levels by making automatic
adjustments for each program.
