Hi Jonesy,

Did you honestly think I didn't know about reducing the volume
control?

I won't bore you with details regarding my use of the mute function.
However, I will tell you I use it often. Turning the volume down,
then up again is an inconvenience.

John

I own an RCA TV, model 27V412T, chassis M134C. When muted, a mute

disappear. Note: Another model RCA TV of mine, the icon disappears after 5
seconds.

When my wife watches The Denver Broncos and listens to the local
(translation: better informed), Denver radio commentators, she simply
runs the TV volume *all* the way down. Ergo, no [MUTE] blob.

Doncha just love it when a manufacturer knows better than you
how you should experience the wonders of _your_ apparatus?
