If the phone rings and my wife lowers the volume on the Instant Home Theater it goes into StandBy after a few minutes. But when my wife is finished with the call the Instant home Theater will not come out of standby when the volume is increased. Is there something broken?

    When you are saying phone, I guess you mean wireless phone? If so, it seems maybe the carrier frequency of your wireless phone may trigger / confuse the IHT.... BTW, what model IHT are you talking about (that will most likely help for troubleshoothing purpose)? ;)

    No, just found out from Polk that if the volume is lowered to low it goes into standby and can't be awaken. I have to keep the volume around 12 for my Sony or use the mute button. Thanks for answering.

    Humm, odd design... I guess it is some form of protect mode for the IHT when it doesn't see any signal (thinking the user has omitted to turn the IHT off???).

    That is exactly what it is, you hit it on the head. I just have to remember to use mute or just lower the volume so you just barely hear it.
