Thanks, I did find the remote, and will research possibly
trying to use it to de-mute, but I don't hold much hope.

It's possible the amp has a fault in the muting circuits.

I've also sent mail to Onkyo explaining the situation, but
don't hold much hope there either.

I'll post my progress as this saga unfolds.

Thank you, and everyone for the assistance and contri-
bution(s).

BTW. That "muting" word is very very tiny, meant for
eyes much younger than mine.

Welcome to my world.
