Manufactured June 1999
Tv will turn on, Beautiful picture - 30 to 45 seconds later the screen goes black. If you turn it off and back on, it may or may not have picture - if it does, it only lasts 30 seconds or so before going black again.
Sounds like power supply. Probably time for a new tv. You have already got almost 20 years service.
SOURCE: Sound Fades, then TV shuts off then continues to recycle on & off
Sometims several capacitors start going bad giving you the audio problem, but I don't remember the set turning itself off. That could be a secondary problem around the flyback transformer which may have a bad solder connection. I would check that first. Otherwise, I would be tempted to go with HDTV.

Mike-It looks like the power supply is going on your tv-it can be replaced. This happens, usually, when little kids are playing wth the remote or power button on the tv. Turn it off and on a whole bunch of times in a row, kids love to do that, and it burns out the power supply part- to make a CRT tv like your RCA36 incher- which is a beautiful machine- I have the RCA/PROSCAN 36 incher-LAST longer...You should always wait 5 min between turning it off and on. Don't ever sell it. This one is worth fixing. It has better color and sound Than the new plasmas and lcds-The Pros know this. Be carefull, they might try and talk you out of it-so they can fix it and have it for themselves. So what if it's not High Deff. It's a great set.

Does it only happen when you use your Xbox?
Try pulling the cable in and out between the TV and Xbox

the sound stays regardless of the picture... you have good audio until you turn iff the tv.

anyone? I have checked the FBT, it does not have any cracked solder joints, maybe the HOT is turning off when warm?
found the problem, simple bad solder on the Horiz output transistor.. maybe its time for new glasses, lol
Beautiful picture for an hour, then only sound after the picture is lost.
The picture lines out gradually.
I have the Samsung plasma.
same problem. picture suddenly goes black (with increasing frequency), but do not lose audio.
