That's a really funny thing. I think some television/receivers support
receiving the volume command and others don't. There was a standard
protocol over HDMI which was needed to make the volume button work as you
describe, but I don't remember exactly what it was called. If you Google,
I'm sure you could find it out fairly easily though. The odd thing is, my
receiver, the Yamaha RXV477 isn't being made anymore, but it has the option
to do it, but it's not enabled by default. My point is, you might have to
look in the menus on your TV or receiver to see if it's turned on, once you
find out what that setting was called. The hard thing is, I recall some
companies calling it different things. Yamaha called it one thing, I think
Sony another, etc. there were only a few names for it. Like I said, I just
can't for the life of me remember them.
You may have to get sighted help to go into the menus and make sure it's
enabled though. And yes, like I said, it's rare anymore these days, but I
have seen systems that don't have the option needed. I'd say most likely
you probably do though, but you just need to turn it on.

Subject: Question about volume button on 4th Gen Apple TV
Hi all,
I love that you can use the volume button on the 4th Gen Apple TV to control
Voiceover volume. It's nice that VO doesn't come blaring out of the TV any
more. Does anyone happen to know if you can also use that button to adjust
the television volume? If so, how?
TIA,
Donna
