Mute Button The mute button must be reset each time we turn on the computer. Is there a work around? thanks

Check two things: first does the set have sound with just a DVD etc connected to one of the rear audio/video inputs? Second is check in menu that speakers are not turned OFF.

Did you try resetting the PRAM and SMC?
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM

1. Shut down the computer (by holding the power button).

2. Turn on the computer. Wait until I hear the boot sound.

3. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys (simultenously).

4. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.

5. Release the keys.

Reset the SMC


When the above 5 steps didn't prove to of much help you can try resetting the SMC.
Close the Mac.
Detach any peripherals, cables, power wires, battery etc.
Be patient for several minutes.
Re-attach all the cables, peripherals like before.
Now turn ON the OS X

try repair before you coz more damage

press volume down on tv and pip or split on remote

HERE is your manual in PDF format.

This unit doesnt have a volume mute function.

What are the problems you are experiencing.

If it says Mute or ATT on the display - it is the cellular mute function turning off the volume for an incoming call.

Page 34 details turning on and off the cellular mute function.

You also may try a hard reset by removing the face, and pressing the reset button.

press recall and Volume- till solid screen shows, then hit recall till you see codes on top left, then hold volume- and mute(same time) till all codes return to 000000000000, then hit exit. turn off tv and check to see if it works
