I have a activity called "Watch Kids TV" that uses the speakers in the TV and does not turn on the amp. This is for in the morning when the kids are watching nickelodeon, disney channel and the like and we don't want the amp/surround/subwoofer etc. on. We don't need spongebob in surround sound. I am going to try to increase the transmission time on the tv volume button and the multiple downs upon start-up of "watch tv". What is a disrete command? I don't have any idea what that is, and I have seen it mentioned before. The mute stays on the screen...................
