No, it's not lacking. Actually, I'm glad it's not installed.
I used to have an old Philips Video-2000 videorecorder, WITH automatic
level control. Very annoying. If there was about a minute of relative
silence, it would turn up the volume to the max. Extremely painful if
someone says something then..

(Dutch movies have three bad characteristics:
a) They're totally non-understandable
b) They have extended periods of silence (see above)
c) They lack every decent story
d) They're boring.
Okay. That's one too many...)
PPS: Those ads? I don't even see them. Normally, I record my favorite programs
(well.. ehh.. that's only "Star Trek Next Generation", "Star Trek Voyager"
and "Star Trek Deep Space Nine". Too bad the original series ain't running..)
and watch them afterwards, which means I can skip those nasty ads with a
simple fast-forward :)
