Just as bad are the movies I watch on TV that jack up the music volume when there&#8217;s no dialogue. Don&#8217;t worry, Congress is working on legislation to reduce volume on broadcast and cable TV commercials.<\/p>\n<p>While you&#8217;re waiting, you can get the GefenTV Auto Volume Stabilizer. It works by putting itself between your source device&#8211;say, a TiVo, DVD player, or your cable box&#8211;and your system&#8217;s speakers. The audio is normalized; that is, the volume is kept at one, constant level, no matter what you&#8217;re listening to. So commercials aren&#8217;t louder than the show they&#8217;re interrupting. (I enabled TiVo&#8217;s hidden 30-second skip setting, so I don&#8217;t hear &#8212; or see &#8212; the commercials.)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve tested the absurdly expensive gizmo (it&#8217;s $150 on Amazon), and it works. The GefenTV supports devices using two-channel analog audio, TOSLINK optical, or S\/PDIF coaxial digital audio, but not discrete multi-channel audio connections. Check the spec sheet.<\/p>\n<p><b>Buckle Up for Safety<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Worried your toddler (or for many of you, your great-grandchild) may reach up, grab your large-screen TV, and get bonked on the head? Or maybe you live in California or Nebraska (Nebraska?) and you&#8217;re frazzled thinking about earthquakes. Attach your display to its stand and the wall with a Sanus Elements Anti-Tip Strap to keep it from tumbling. Crutchfield sells it for $20. I look at it as a cheap insurance policy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aweber.com\/archive\/techbite\/1vmJh\/h\/Two_Useful_Gadgets_and_a_Bass_Rant.htm#rant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Steve&#8217;s article continued here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/stevewp.jpg\" alt=\"steveb\" class=\"attachment wp-att-7167 alignleft\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By Steve Bass<\/p>\n<p>Commercials are loud now, louder than I can ever remember&#8230;what can you do about it?<\/p>\n<p>Worried your toddler (or for many of you, your great-grandchild) may reach up, grab your large-screen TV, and get bonked on the head?
