Watching movies.. do you have the problem of having to constantly adjust the volume to turn down action and turn up dialog?

I have never had that issue yet and I've owned it for 6 months now. There is a speech enhancement setting you can turn on that eliminates any issue of that happening as well as a night mode to soften those bass notes

I haven't found that to be an issue. The night setting works well for that.

They have a "night time" mode which helps equalize the volume to avoid that problem. I would say it works well. This speaker is one of my favorite purchases. I highly recommend it.

The feature to enhance voice is called "Night" mode. The reason its termed that is because the speaker reduced the bass output as well as boosting the dialog of movies. It works pretty well. There are often times when the speaker is in "Normal" mode that I miss some softly spoken words so I turn on the "Night" mode (which is conveniently placed on the remote), and rewind the movie a bit & I can clearly hear the words what I originally missed.

Yes, it's pretty often that it happens - sometimes it goes away. I just turn up the volume. :)

It has never been a problem. Sometimes I have asked them to turn it down. It also has headphone jacks.

Yes, you can. I chose not too because kids do not have same taste in movies. But when they do want to see the same movie we set the headphones on the same frequency to the headrest that is playing the movie.

Change your setup, as suggested by others. Ours has never turned off unexpectedly, and we've sat through many many hours of movies using it.

I don't know. I'm not very much up on these terminalogies. I use my RCA wide screen strictly for DVD movies and all the movies I have played are showing well. The only problem I have had is sometimes the sound is not very loud and it is like watching a silent movie, but most are alright. The volume adjustment is hard to set right and the instruction manual is to brief to be of much help, but then as I said in the beginning my knowledge of these things is sorely lacking. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

The volume is great. Can be too loud when it's on the back of your headrest. I don't think you will have a problems hearing your movies.

The sound quality is fine. It would be much better if it were surround sound. Many movies produced are constantly going from low to high volume. Hope this helps.

Yes, just turn the volume down to the lowest setting. It's not technically off, but it may as well be.

Unfortunately these do not remove any of the background noise/music. It's irritating for those of us that have hearing deficiencies when the background noise/music is louder than the dialog...not sure why it's so popular to obscure the dialog. Remember when you could go to a movie and the dialog was louder than the background audio...wonder how we suffered through that?

I have similar problems hearing dialog (high frequency sound loss). When my wife and I would watch movies, many, many times I would have to ask the wife "what did he say?". I had a bose 5.1 surround system, and tried adjusting sound (treble etc.) on the tv to help but it was no help. I was researching sound bars for the main purpose of helping me understand, and came across the 555. It has been remarkable. When I received, I tried each mode, and was getting a little worried that although it was better, I was still having a little trouble with dialog. Then, I engaged the DE and there was a huge difference for me. I have gone from many times not knowing what the heck is going on in a movie, to hardly EVER missing a word. No two people will have the exact same hearing level, so you will get differing opinions. That said, it has the 30 day return policy, and I have to recommend trying it.

I always have to adjust the Pal Bot's volume when I move it from one device to another, so it's fairly normal. However, I agree with Wildman's suggestion to try headphones with the devices to check.

Yes. Just turn it down. There's no click or switch it just turns off when the volume is at the low setting.

Purchased this player on August 2013 for coworkers. It is on almost continually and have not had any problems with it other than I have to turn it down. :) Contact vendor or amazon! After reading some replies I do remember that you have to either hold the volume switch as you turn up or bump continually. Just hold it in the up position until you hear volume. Hope it helps.

Hi i just bought this tv and loved it until I turned down the volume and had the same problem. I am returning it unfortunately but for the price it is a steal :-)

The tv volume is still active until you turn on the soundbar. We usually only use the soundbar when we watch movies.
