Is anybody who owns one of these experiencing this:


Twice now, my set has shut itself off and then on again, over a period of a few weeks. The first time, it messed up the perfecto convergence settings I had. The second time, it didn't.


Each time it happend, the set had been on for many hours as in all day.


Its winter, and the weather is dry, so I assume some sort of arcing is going on. I am just curious if this has happened to anyone else, yet. Otherwise, the set is working perfectly.


The odd thing about this, and the reason I am asking, is that its not easy to show a service person the problem. So, if this is just my set, I may have to deal with it from a replacement perspective.


Thanks.

funny, the same thing happened to my 50v500 3 days in a row 2 weekends ago. It would turn off, then turn on, then off, then on again--and the remotes were safely on the side table.

Yhe same thing happened to me 3 times one one of these units. I retunred it to Sears. The replacement unit has not done it but it did "twitch" once, like it almost shut off.

XH,

did you still have the box the tv came in?

we through ours away after a week of working tv, but wouldn't you know it, that weekend, the on off problem began.

Thats a reported issue and apparently is related to breakin. It generally happens a couple of times and never reoccurs (although if it occurred another couple of times it would be a concern)

Also...make sure Video 2 Auto Link mode is disabled. It will make the set power on and off based on the signal entering input 2.
