Sick of having to change volume...

Probably a common problem... I have neighbours and I don't want to unnecessarily annoy them (mind you, they do play the trumpet!) with the TV being too loud. I use a Logitech Z-680 system for sound on TV, PS3, 360 etc. Now on programs and movies I set the volume so that I can clearly hear the voices, but when the loud parts of the movie start I find I need to turn the volume down. Of course when the dialogue starts again, I need to turn it back up. Is there any way that I can limit the top end volume without clipping it? Ideally I would be looking for a piece of kit that I can connect before the input on my amplifier to quieten the higher end volume without losing sound quality. Ideas?

Use Dynamic Range Compression.

Ok thanks. Pretty sure there isn't that setting on the Logitech. TV is received via Cable on a Dbox2. Volume options are "llrc" "ost" or "avs". Any idea what these mean?
