Sony TV unusual question

Check if the speakers have a "wall mount" option. That seems to throw the sound forward on my Samsung.

Of course!......Everybody knows THAT!!! I just found out (for the umpteenth time), being smart does NOT make you savy.
Confession: what happens to me is that I can read simple instructions just fine, but when I actually attempt to execute these instructions, what I see on the screen is different. It took me all this time to finally sort out the other steps in the process. It's almost like learning Greek (over and over). Anyway, what I want to say is that if y'all had not pointed me in the right direction I would still be cussing out the Sony guys. Thank you very much. Now, all I can complain about is the speakers are pointing the wrong way (nobody is watching from behind the TV, the sound should be aimed at the audience....IMO...) :B

Per a google search:

Using the supplied remote, press the MENU button

Select Settings

Select Setup

Select Start-up Sound

Select Off

Short answer, yes. Long answer, I don't remember where in the settings it is, but it's there.
