Hi,

I think your TV may not have this option at all. However, I can also come up with other ideas:

Some adjustments might become unavailable depending on the input or content, have you tried adjusting this parameter in different inputs? e.g. TV channels, HDMI, composite, component? Or different content? e.g. HDMI input but with a signal from a bluray player playing a bluray disc vs. signal from a bluray player playing a DVD. If you don't see the tint "unlocked" in any of these different scenarios the option might as well be natively unavailable.

For example, if you have your notebook computer connected to an LCD TV and/or surround sound speakers with a high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) cable as part of a home theater system, you may encounter some common HDMI display and/or sound issues such as the following: If you are experiencing one of the following issues, click the link to go directly to a section of this document for a resolution.

If your Tv has this many HDMI ports it will have a menu to access each one separate. Go to your Tv's settings menu and look for your HDMI ports to use.

I have Verizon Fios and there's a known issue with the motorola HD boxes that they have bad hdmi ports, the screen goes green and that's it, nothing I can do about it I just use component cables. You need to be sure it's your tv not the cable box. Try the hdmi on a dvd player or ps3 or whatever else you have first just to be sure it's the tv at fault not the cable box. If you determine it is the tv you need to replace either the main board or the video board depending on your specific tv model. Some have the video inputs on the main boards some have video boards.

I think if you look in the instruction manual under faults,it say the cable must be a certain value ie 1.3,it should tell you on the package.I hope this is of some help

I called Verizon and exchanged my STB from a QIP 6416 to a QIP 7216 and it solved the HDMI audio problem. This looks like the fix.

found solution myself, will post shortly

This is a common issue with HDMI. Try unplugging the TV for 2 monutes and also reset the cable box as well by inplugging.
