Question 1

Can you program it for something other than Mute?  Say like "Power" on/off?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Any function on your TV remote can be copied by the Smash Mute. We have one programmed to make the TV sound mute and another one programmed to use the last channel. So when the commercials come on I tap the mute to eliminate all the screaming and nonsense. Then I use the other one to ping back and forth between a couple of channels I like to watch. It makes things easy. This is a fun product. Cheers!

Question 2

My parents unhooked their TV equipment when they had their floor replaced. Now Smash Mute isn't working. Anyone know how to re-set it?

Accepted Answer

First make sure the Smash Mute has batteries in it. Then, flip the button on the bottom of the Smash Mute from "Use" to "Learn." Now, point the factory TV remote at the bottom of the Smash Mute and press the mute button on that factory remote until the red light on the Smash Mute blinks. Then flip the button back from "Learn" to "Use." That's it!

Question 3

We have a smash mute & got a new tv and we followed the steps to program it and it did not work. we changed batteries too! what do we do?

Accepted Answer

I don't know. I know that it is not well-made I had to go back in and re-solder some wires and it's been working fine ever cents. PS taught my dog how to mute the TV.

Question 4

Will the smash mute button work on all my television sets ?

Accepted Answer

It will work on whichever one it is programmed for. So if you program it for your living room tv it won’t work on tour bedroom tv unless you retrain it. It works on all models i have tried EXCEPT one that had a “half mute”.
