RE: Three Questions About The Apple TV 4th Generation
Hello Ryan, Thank you so much for your reply. Well, I got the volume working; that is to say, it adjust the actual television. I don't know if that is the extent to the volume adjustments or not. Try as I may, I cannot get the clicking feedback sound heard when adjusting VoiceOver on iPhone so I don't know if the controller can actually adjust VoiceOver volume independently of the system volume. As for the reverse colors, try as I may, I cannot find a way to have white text on a dark background as was the case on the previous generation. Were it not for my Bluetooth keyboard, it would be much more difficult for me to enter text as I simply cannot see black on white. I hope you and others will join me in bringing this to Apple's attention.

Three Questions About The Apple TV 4th Generation
Hello All, I went to an Apple Store, earlier today, to take alook at iPhone S.E. I left the store with an Apple TV 4th Generation 64GB. (smile) I just spent a couple of hours setting it up and exploring. Now I know there's been a lot of podcast from Apple VIS, on this device and I listened to a couple of them this evening. Actually, I find the TV OS pretty strait forward but, as with all new devices, I have some questions that you may be able to answer. 1. Is there a page that describes the remote control buttons? I seem to remember someone posting a very detailed description of the remote. 2. When I first setup my device, I could swear I came across a way to adjust VoiceOver volume. That is to say, when I pressed the Plus/Minus button, I heard feedback as if I were adjusting VoiceOver volume. In fact, I am almost positive that the volume changed on the device. However, for whatever reason, since updating to the latest version of the OS, I cannot reproduce such an adjustment. When I use the VoiceOver Rotor, I cannot locate a volume option. 3. Finally, Is it me, or is there no way to invert colors in the OS. The first thing I noticed upon setting up the device was that, unlike my previous Apple TV, in which menus had white text on a dark background, now it's dark text on a white background. Absolutely yucky!!! I must say that I did like the fact that I could use my iPhone to input all of my wireless network settings. Also, I decided to pair my old Apple TV remote control with my new Apple TV. So, now I'm using them both. Very, very nice. Oh, and my Apple Wireless Bluetooth keyboard is working fine. Any and all replies greatly appreciated. Mark -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
