New tv. Hooked up to cable. Stays on for two minutes and then shuts down. Comes right back on when we hit the button. Does is on the DVD also. TV is a Sansui
Try using a master reset to fix this.
Sometimes after being used for awhile electronics tend to malfunction.
press and hold these buttons in this order....
power / volume up / channel down.
The tv should shut off after doing this.
Turn it back on manually.
This will reset the TVs internal memory chip.
I dont guarentee this as a permanent fix....but it worked for me.Good luck
Testimonial: "Worked like a charm. TV is working great now. It was hooked up to a converter box before we got it and hooked it up to cable. Thanks for the help."
I would try the tv in another outlet, if that doesn't solve the problem the tv should come with a standard warranty and is likely to be replaced (if you got the store warranty, then you may be able to get a replacement or your money back during a certain time period).
You might want to check the programming. The TV can be programmed (for up to 120 minutes) to turn off automatically.
