    Sony XR-55A80J

    Since posting, I have experimented with the TV's "Dolby Audio" sound mode for the internal speakers. Out of the box, it sounds tinny compared to "Cinema". In case it helps anyone, here is how I have improved it, at least for my ears. I used the equaliser in the classic smiley settings (as...
