560911 - ..
560912 - Reported erratic performance of mute and volume control with Comcast
560913 - remote control.
560915 - ..
560916 - Explained that when the television initially powers up, mute and
560917 - volume control work normally. After first use, there is erratic
560918 - function for both systems. Pressing either the volume or mute button
560919 - on the remote control fails repeatedly. After 4 - 10 trys, the mute
560920 - might work, and volume will then go up or down, but holding the
560921 - volume button pressed does not scroll the sound up or down.
560923 - ..
560924 - Chris checked the record and noticed this Vizio television previously
560925 - reported problems with the remote control system, when the television
560926 - was received on 120206 0845. ref SDS 37 XY6F
560928 - ..

560936 - the television frame, and above the speaker.
560938 - ..
560939 - After cleaning the sensor with a cloth, this did not solve the
560940 - problem. Mute and sound buttons still fail, per above. ref SDS 0 KV6G

560954 - Chris said that Vizio needs a picture (photograph) of invoice for
560955 - proof of purchase on the television, received on 120206 0845.
560956 - ref SDS 37 LM5G, as was done with the remote control, reported on
