This set came on, autoprogrammed normally and ran for a half hour and apparently shut off while I had left the room. I turned it back on when i returned and it ran for a few minutes and then all of a sudden started changing channels by itself. After about 30 seconds or so it just began continually scrolling through the channels. I was able to turn it off when it started doing this. The customer said that it will also turn itself on by itself as well however I haven't yet noticed this. I did a search but couldn't find anything on this symptom. Does anyone have any ideas on this one?. Thanks, Lenny

First, see if it stops when you pull the batteries from the remote. Second, check the soldering around the IR receiver module.
