      Hello. Commercials often use different audio formats and volume levels to capture your attention. To minimize the change in volume or playback, I recommend setting the Dynamic Volume feature to medium and enabling Auto Surround Playback. If you need further assistance with the setup, please get in touch with our support team. You can reach Denon Product Support at 800-497-8921. Our support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 9 PM EST, and Saturday from 10 AM to 7 PM EST. denon
