Geoff I think you can do a total reset if you plug it into your Mac via USB and then use iTunes just as I did when I was testing the beta versions.
That should solve your problems and let you get the thing back to factory defaults as well as up to date. You would need a standard USB to Micro USB cable to do this. Those cables are readily available at most computer accessory stockists.

When I attached it to a tv I was able to hear vo output and navigate the menus. When ever I attempted to update or reset I got a message indicating that the update failed. Yesterday Apple replaced it with a new one. I brought it home and attached it to my stereo via toslink. Setup was proceeding normally, when it suddenly went silent. I tried power cycling and attaching it to my tv, but got the same result. I have now learned that when I plug in the Apple tv, two items appear on the screen. There is a picture of an HDMI port, with an arrow pointing to a musical note (or so that is how it was described). Pressing buttons on the remote have no affect whatsoever. I suspect its time for yet another trip to the Apple store, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask if there is anything I can try here. TIA for any suggestions and best regards.
