Abstract

See full text

A system and method are disclosed for maintaining a consistent volume level as the user changes channels in a settop box adopted for use in a television system, wherein the steps comprise selecting a reference channel and adjusting the gain of a pre-amp so that the mean output level of the pre-amp remains the same on the new channel. The system and method also provides for allowing multiple users to specify unique channel volume configurations for one, some or all the channel receivable by a settop box, and for dynamically adjusting audio amplification to maintain the output audio in an acceptable range.
