"live" by plugging in something else.

turning it on again.

Problems with remote
• Maybe something is between the remote and the remote sensor.
• Maybe the remote is not aimed directly at the TV's remote sensor.
• Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead or installed incorrectly.
Try replacing batteries.
Turns on or off while playing

power surge. Wait 30 seconds and then turn on again. If this
happens frequently, the voltage in your house may be abnormally
high.
