Well, I am back once more to my problem: My plasma turns the power off itself sometimes. I mean POWER, as opposed to going to stand-by. It is already in stand-by, then the power is disconnected for a fraction of a second, and it is back in stand-by.

The new thing is that I noticed that it did it THREE times in a row AT about THE SAME TIME(did not check it earlier), 7:43 am. It cannot be just a coincidence.

I don't believe that this TV has a timer which can disconnect the power completely (the keyword), as opposed to going to stand-by.

My most plausible explanation is that there is a power spike at this time, say, something, is powered on at this time somewhere. These can last a few nanoseconds and either TV or my PF60 disconnects the power and reconnects it again. However, it does not affect other gear - dvd-player or electric alarm-clock or vcr or the stb (which however sends a message after the power is on that HDMI link is sensed) in the house. Can plasma be more sensitive?

Well... it did it again at the same time. Anyone can help with the ideas what is going on?

It looks like a timer, but timer doing what? Does not turn the tv on of off.

Maybe, the cable or power company is sending/doing something at this time?

Some plasmas do have a timer. My Panny 50" has a timer that can be set to turn it on or off at a certain time and/or day. Yours may or may not but perhaps you should fully check your manual to see if it does. If you've already done this and yours doesn't then ignore my suggestion.

Thanks for your reply. My TV is Philips 42pf9630a - I don't see that it has a timer, you can only set it to turn of (sleeper?).

But my plasma does not turn itself on - it looks exactly as if you disconnect it from the wall and plugg it back - it goes to stand-by.

My other suspicion is a ``dirty'' appliance in the neighborhood on a timer - my neighbor has a huge spa with a timer which he is repairing rather often. What if it is sending a power spike and TV or surge protecotr reacts?
