Product Description The TERK TV Volume Regulator (VR-1) delivers a consistent, quality audio level while channel surfing or changing between A/V sources, without adjusting the volume. The VR-1 features Advanced Digital Signal Processing technology that automatically adjusts sound levels without introducing additional noises. In the VR-1, Noise Reduction technology automatically reduces any 'hiss' already present in audio. This clarifies whispers and articulates quiet scenes to a level that you can enjoy. Its Dual-Band Automatic Gain Control adjusts bass and treble signals separately for improved dialog. With response as quick as .002 seconds, the VR-1 delivers consistent audio levels when sudden loud noises such as explosions are present. The VR-1 is easy-to-install and is compatible with any A/V device (using RCA-type connectors). Its compact design allows for out-of-sight installation.Consumers adjust the volume as much as twenty five times an hour. TERK's TV Volume Regulator allows you to focus on the entertainment and not the volume control. Once installed, you can set the VR-1 to your desired level and enjoy quality audio. The VR-1 automatically matches the volume of commercials to the program level, eliminating those sudden, loud noises that disturb the household or neighbors. By making dialog more intelligible and reducing blaring music or sound effects, the VR-1 is a great solution for the home theater enthusiast.
ReturnedJanuary 6, 2009 I bought it for those horrible commercials that go so loud , especially at night. I tried it on 2 tvs, one HDtv and the other normal.Both gave poor results, It certainly changed the clarity of sound so you don't have to raise the volume so much, but It did not do what it said it can do. Bottom line, improved sound but not volume
Not bad, if you know what to expectJanuary 6, 2009 This product has worked well, as far as leveling out the volume between commercials and programming. Unfortunately, you can often hear the product working in the form of a loud pop. This happens when I am watching something with a large dynamic range (a lot of difference between loud and soft sounds). When watching movies, listening to music, or anything else where the dynamic range comes into play, it is best to have it bypassed. When watching network or cable TV, when you can expect commercials and heavily compressed sounds, this device seems to work well.
Read all the reviews, know when to use it, and this product works. Expect it to be a miracle device and you will find this device to be a waste of money.
Well Worth It At 3 Times The PriceJanuary 2, 2009 I just purchased a VR-1 TV Volume Controller to keep the volume of commercials from blasting the remote out of my hand. To my surprise not only did it resolved the issue with the commercials but it also makes the programs much more enjoyable. I can now enjoy the whispers as well as the explosions instead of grabbing the remote.
My TV supports both HDMI and Component RCA Video and Audio inputs. The VR-1 is connected in the audio component connections.
This way if I won't the sound without the VR-1 I change my channel to the HDMI channel. If I won't the VR-1 to maintain my volume I switch to the Component channel.
While the TV remote adjust the sound as normal. The only this I use the remote for now is changing the channels.
Buy this to control the wild audio levels on converter boxes.December 8, 2008 I installed the Philco Converter box with analog feed thru. The audio levels vary so wildly between channels, between network feeds and locals and then back to network, between program material and commercials, that something had to be done or you would wear out the volume control on your remote. Since the networks and local stations, the ad agencies and the FCC will not do anything to control these wild audio level swings, you have to buy added equipment to control it for them.
This controller should do it for you. Just install it between the converter box left and right audio output and your TV left and right audio inputs. Feed the digital channel from your video output on your converter box to the video input on your TV or VCR. Adjust your digital viewing to come in on the AUX or Video input. Enjoy.
Wasted moneyDecember 3, 2008 This product did not do what I expected it to do which was to amplify softly spoken dialog and/or decrease the volume of loud dialog so we could hear all dialog comfortably. I do not use it anymore.
