Am i doing something wrong?

[hk6230]

I'm experiencing inconsistency on preout in my D200, too. I've confirmed twice and even thrice just to make sure the "mute applies.." is clicked off. In General option, I have set preout to off as default and on Remote config, I have set the bottom right button for Pre-out on/off function. So, when I need to listen to headphone, I can turn on the pre-out and press Mute to switch off the speakers. [In case, you miss the Tone/Balance function (defaulted on the bottom right button) just press and hold for 2 sec on the Mute button and you can access this function. ]
