Question by : TV/Surround system problems please can you help me?
Oki basically for the past 12-18months my brother (he isnt a bro to me) has somehow managed to ruin the loudness and sound vibes from our living room TV and Cinema surround system. I will start off with the TV
TV:
Barely a year old top quality LG TV cost around £850 so anyway when me and my dad first started watching I remember our volume was around 24-30 but now………
We have it on 40odd and +6 which is on the menu
It was impossible to have the TV on +6 and 40 as it would be blaring out but now however it doesnt seem that loud the quality of sound has lessen and at times it seems disjointed. My brother has made everything feel this way I honestly dont know what to do about this.
LG Cinema system:
This for me is the one that hurts me the most I swear the punk has changed and pretty much ruined everything
Heres a picture of the stereo system

When we first bought the cinema system it was like a heavens paradise for sports and cinema lovers the quality of sound was immense it was pure surround sound entertainment. However the joy was short lived and now I have the following problems….
The back speakers should be as loud as the TV in itself the rear speakers cover the atmosphere the background noises it was fantastic but now you can barely hear the noise coming from the speakers….
The bass is 100% gone
The main speakers dont sound very fluent
There is no real surround sound you dont feel it running through the living room
I have no idea how the boy manages it but the narrators/persons voice is very low
Basically he has tampered with everything on the system I have gone through everything to the best of my ability and still I’ve come up with no answers. I dont speak to my brother anymore tbh I believe hes done this because he has a new GF and hes paranoid about sound+noise I’ve conforted him about this but he will never say or admit what he has done so now I need your help im pleading with each and one of you to help me out here. Thank you.

In my experience most LG products have a Factory Reset function in the main menu, it may not always appear as Factory Reset but it is up to you to interpret the options as you see them.
It is unlikely that a family member has managed to do any real harm to both the TV and Home Cinema and the chances are that a sound setting has been altered. Your TV will most certainly have options for a number of sound modes including Movie, Sport, Music etc. and these all give different volume, bass and treble output. The Home Cinema certainly has a feature to test your speakers one at a time and again gives the option for different sound modes, it also allows you to set the volume on different speakers to account for different room size, layout and acoustics. Find this option and each speaker in turn will give a ‘hissing’ sound to confirm it is working. Refer to the user manuals that came with these items if you still have them, otherwise go to ‘www.lge.co.uk’ select ‘Support’ then ‘Manuals & Drivers’ to download them.
Hope this helps. uk.meltdown.
