ABSTRACT:
A user operated remote controller for quieting of sound volume from a television set or other entertainment equipment. User remotely commands an abrupt lowering of the volume to a HUSH level intermediate between a normal and a muted volume level. A remote control command receiver responds to a uniquely encoded wireless “lower the volume” command signal and the volume is immediately lowered to a HUSH level preset just loud enough to telltale a viewer when a program content change occurs, or to allow a parallel activity such as answering a telephone, without completely losing the gist of the audio program content or denying other persons from quietly listening to the program. Temporarily lowers overbearing volume of a television program during station breaks and commercials, while enabling the user to audibly notice when the principal program resumes. Changing a channel selection on a televisor may automatically initiate the lower-volume HUSH mode.
