I'm sorry I can't help you...I warn everyone that asks about this company to RUN...DON'T WALK...to ANY other brand. It's a 50/50 shot that you will get one that works right out of the box. Why K-Mart and low end retailers don't throw them out I don't know.....(must be the cheap, cheap price I guess)....Their customer service is atrocious to non-existent and their TV's are J-U-N-K...! Can't get much plainer than that!!

You are lucky that it works at all. I had to return the one I received twice (3 tvs) before I got one that worked. Get your money back if you can.

In my experience the volume was not very high either. I have a Samsung and the difference was amazing. If your TV is connected to a cable box try turning the tv volume all the way down and the turn the cable box volume all the way up. After that you should be able to get higher tv volume

You will probably have to get external speakers that you can adjust the volume with. That's what I did with mine becuase the built in speakers are horrible.

Just a guess not sure but what i would try is audio settings. Some stores set the audio. In case someone. Tries to turn it way up. My guess.

That happened to me with the thumb drive. I cranked to volume up to right before its too loud for the speakers or earphones. Then it is fine on other mediums. Its still not like what you get from the overproduced music today but you hear the warmth natural sound of the record.

I usually have my volume control set between 10 [night]-15 [day]. I tried pushing the volume up as high as it would go, but I couldn't stand it any higher than 20. The little volume bar looked like it would go up to 100. As far as closed captioning goes, it works fine on TV. It doesn't seem to work for me on Amazon Prime movies or TV unless they are foreign movies. I was watching the Damages series and couldn't get any captions, for instance.

I have the same problem. It seemed OK until I added a BluRay DVD and then even with the window (winter) open behind it shuts down with the volume setting much about 30. It runs somewhat hot, but I don't think it should be hot enough to shut down. Currently I must use the TV volume set higher and hard to get good sound from my high efficiency regular speakers. With the tuner I have no problems. I am not happy with the unit.

I've asked the same thing and no one answered. The volume is plenty loud enough, but I notice there is 'vibrations' if I turn it up too loud. I'd love to know about speakers as well!

I bought a 40 " Seiki in August, it worked about 45 days then quit working, Seiki has a one year warranty but they are difficult to contact. They did replace my TV after 5 months. I had to call over a dozen times but they will replace your broken equipment 1 855 697 3454

Try going to cnet and using their settings. I used them on the 26 inch version of this model and it looks terrific.

It is funny you ask, as I have that exact setup. I also have FH-65b as the rears. I also use two F-12s making it a 5.2 setup powered by a Pioneer VSX-1020k, on tile floor in living room. I am not an audiophile, but movies and music are crystal clear and I have never approached maximum volume. I have taken the Pioneer app on my phone, stood in my backyard, took it to about 75% max volume and could hear the music clearly outdoors, but I stopped since I do not want to piss of my neighbors. I have never taken it that loud indoors. Just for kicks I turned the subs' volume to max, began to ramp receiver volume and two of my six light bulb's filaments broke in the kitchen, so I stopped. All in good fun. It is funny you ask, as I have that exact setup. I also have FH-65b as the rears.

As long as you don't crank it up past like 25 the sound quality is pretty good! I own this tv and I love it! For the money you won't find a better 32 inch! If you push it too loud the bass will distort, but trust me with the cinema sound turned on in the setup menu, you won't have any reason to turn it up past like 20.

I get plenty of volume from my speaker. Sounds like there is something wrong with your setup. Check the TV connection to the transmitter, or try a different connection. If that doesn't help, make sure there's nothing blocking the line-of-sight IR connection between the transmitter and the speaker.

Not sure. Didn't care. Never seen a TV below 32" that had speakers worth a crap and anything above that size they are only half worth a crap. I'll say that you can certainly hear it and it has 3 sound modes. Custom movie and standard. I use custom. It has a headphone out jack and when I am really watching something I plug in some cheap computer speakers and it sounds fantastic and the volume controls with the remote. Can't ask for much more. But I don't think you will really hear it well in a noisy environment. Just opt for external speakers or sound bar plugged into the headphone stereo out jack.

I have the "long" one which will play for several hours (at least 6 at the volume levels I use). I found the tiny one (nearly square) which is illustrated totally unacceptable and returned it. User interface didn't work right.

My tv has plenty of volume. I adjusted the treble down to minimum and the base up to maximum which reduced the "tinneyness" sound of small speakers considerably. I am satisfied with the sound quality, so I hav'nt looked into any upgrades.

Robb, Thanks for your input. Before I installed the Series II to its designated spot in my home, I tested them by letting them sit in my family room HT system (TSi 400, CS10, RTi4,and PSW111) but it did not sound as good as TSI400, especdially in mid range - solo violin and piano did not sound clean. As I purchased Monitor 70 as it is supposed be an old model of TSi500. I hope the SeriesII was not designed to sell a cheaper model with cheaper price. As CS10 might be the reason for a poor mid range, I will continue to figure out how to work it out.

Don't have a 55+ I have a 50 and there is 12 inches from bottom edge of the TV to the top shelf....
