Hi Thomas1950, Thank you so much for choosing Sony! The volume/sound quality of our HT-G700 as well as our other soundbars will depends on the source that is playing and device that are using. If you are referring to a TV commercials, most TV commercials are created to be loud simply so you can hear the advertisement and get your attention. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) does not regulate the volume of commercials, nor does it regulate the volume of TV programs. But, the FCC does require broadcasters to limit the power that is used to transmit the signal. So, technically, a commercial cannot be any louder than the loudest portion of the TV program you are watching. That said, however, if you are watching a program with soft dialog, when the program cuts to a commercial you will most likely hear a boost or fluctuation in the volume. However, this soundbar features a sound mode that tailored to sound sources we recommend having the soundbar set to Auto Sound. This will change the Sound Mode from Standard, Cinema, and Music based on the content played. Also, if your TV has advanced auto volume feature, you can use this to keep the volume constant even when watching commertials. Should you need further assistance, please contact us for help.
