I've heard its best to turn the volume ALL the way down on ANY sound pruducing item whether it be a tv,stereo,computer etc,etc before turning it off. Any feedback , good or bad
Or you can balance the sound if you attack matching system like SONY BRAVIA 5.1 or 71 system with the HDTV. I don't like it when people want the TV speakers higher then they crackle next time. No need to turn to the max today..
