There are tips for improve sound quality of your TV such as playing with the distance from the wall, not embedding it in a piece of furniture or surrounding it with other devices are general and deserve attention, but others have to do with the options offered in its menus.
In this article we review the best settings and adjustments to make your smart TV with Android TV enjoy its sound quality to the fullest. You don’t need more than a few minutes to take the sound of your TV up a notch.
Try the sound modes
Enter the Android TV home screen and there in the settings (it’s the gear icon), more precisely in the ‘Visualization and sound
Although generally speaking the names can guide you (for example, if you use your TV mainly to watch series and movies or to play football), our advice is: Don’t let the name get you carried away in determining their behavior.since the result differs depending on the brand and model. So it’s worth sitting on the couch and trying them out with a so-called motif content until you find one that delivers clear sound and that you like.
Where is the TV placed?
In the introduction we talked about space-related tips to improve TV sound, but even in the Android TV menu itself we have an option for the device itself to take into account its position for sound
In ‘Visualization and sound‘ > ‘Her‘ > ‘TV position‘, it is possible to choose whether we have it on a desktop stand (with the speakers free) or, as in our case, on a wall stand.
Adjust the equalizer
Following a similar route to the previous one, we will ‘Visualization and sound‘ > ‘Her‘ > ‘Sound customization‘ > ‘Equalizer‘, a manual way to adapt the capabilities of the TV’s built-in speakers to the characteristics of the room. In high-end models, you are likely to find acoustic correction systems that do this automatically.
The idea is to vary the amplitude of the signals in each available frequency range in order to obtain the flattest possible response without noticeable volume variationssomething we can do by playing a specific video or audio file.
Even if we have to rely on our hearing, which is neither simple nor precise, we can at least keep the frequency bands at bay
Beware of volume
In the Android TV menu we will find several sections related to volume in the path ‘Visualization and sound‘ > ‘Her‘. We will, however, highlight those which seem to us to be the most interesting.
The first one we are interested in is the smart volume or, as it appears on my television, ‘Advanced Auto Volume‘, whose mission is to maintain constant volume regardless of content or input, which is essential to avoid shocks.
However, we can also find other interesting options in the “Sound Customization”, such as Night mode Or night listening What it does is provide a clear sound with low volumeideal if we have someone sleeping nearby. Thus, voices and whispers will be heard louder while explosions, music and other effects will be reduced in intensity.
