In Reply to: Sharp 40-inch Aquos TV keeps turning itself off. posted by Dave Pogue on September 12, 2014 at 06:42:01:
I've now found two things. First, that too-cheap HDMI cables are not a good thing. The one between my Denon Receiver and the Sharp TV has an intermittent problem and has been replaced.
Second and more important. The Sharp turns itself off EXACTLY 3 hours after it was turned on. I've now timed it 4 times and there's no question about this. I'm sure the "why" resides somewhere in the menu/software and I just haven't taken the time yet to track it down. More specifically, there is a "No operation off" function that "allows the TV to automatically shut the power down when there is no operation" and the period after which it shuts down is 3 hours. Obviously there IS operation during the 3-hour period (I'm watching the damn thing), but this seems too weird to be coincidental.
More later. Thanks for everyone's help.
