Sony Soundbar SA-CT80 Sound Issues

[Nosamp]

Hi,



I have the above sound bar and am having issues with it.



It is connected to a Sharp TV via an optical lead.



When watching TV and someone is talking I find it too quiet so I turn it up, if there is then some action its really loud so I need to turn it down, I find I am constantly turning it up and down throughout a film and this is on pretty much every film or TV show?



I have tried adjusting all the settings with all the combinations I can think of and none of them seem to help that much if at all.



I feel I need to be able to have the voices louder but not have the action deafening, kinda hoped the 'voice' button would do this but it doesn’t.



I don't remember this being a problem initially but don't remember changing anything, is there a way to completly reset the unit to see if the 'standard' setting works ok?



Any suggestions would be greatly welcome as I'm starting to think the tinny/squeaky sound the TV produces would be preferable to constantly adjusting the volume.



Thanks

Hello @Nosamp,

according to the 22nd page of the manual, you need to perform the following steps to perform a reset:

If the system still does not operate properly, reset the system as follows:

1.  Press SW  (subwoofer volume) +,  (volume) –, and NIGHT in sequence within 3 seconds. All 6 indicators on the Bar Speaker flash once, and the settings return to their initial status.
2. Disconnect the AC power.
