try to reset the device by unplugging it and plugging it back in. also, make sure you take the tiny protective cover off of the end of the optical cord that plugs into your tv. its small and very hard to see.

Hi, my friend bought her tv (save model KDL-46VL150) from a dealer around here and since january 15, 2010 has not been able to listen to it. It worked about 10 days, then a red flashing light came on et OFF went the TV. If I were you, I would return that model number. They all seem to have the same problem and unless you have bought from Costco the other dealers won't take it back (they sent you back directly to Sony who sent's you a repairman. And Sony is sure not in a hurry to fix it. She is still waiting for the repairman even after numerous phone calls and complaints. Check the web and see others that have the same problem. Good luck.

That sounds like the type of response most TV's have when you have a burnt out bulb, or one that is slow to warm up. I would double check to make sure your bulb is fully plugged into the contacts in the back of the TV and give it another try. It might take a little while for the bulb to warm up initially. If that doesn't work, and your previous bulb did, it might be possible you got a bad bulb, or it was knocked around in shipping.

Yes, they basically worded it incorrectly in the instruction manual. Enabling this feature will remember the On/Off state of the TV when it loses power. So if you unplug it while it is turned on, it will turn itself back on once you plug it back in. It has nothing to do with the video signal. I tried the tech support people and even they weren't aware of this.

after I installed mine and turned on TV it worked normally so maybe you need to reinstall as may not be seated properly. If that's not it must have other problems

Yes, I am having the same issue with my same model television. Mine was purchased the end of 2/08, it started doing that about a month ago and it is out of warranty. Have you had your repaired? If so, what was the cost? wants $150 just to come out and diagnose the problem.

same thing happens if you use the TV's USB power, it turns on when the TV does. Takes about a minute to boot up. Buyer beware though, these things suck, mine broke after 2 weeks

Paul, call Samsung 800-726-7864 I think you may have a bad remote if when you click it on and your red light doesn't do anything on the TV. Also, the sensor on the TV is small, so be sure you are holding the remote straight and level towards the sensor which is whee the red light is. The remotes are a trip and they are touchy items. Good Luck! I hope this helped.

You need to turn it on whenever you turn on the TV, and sometimes after a period of inactivity it will go off and you have to re-turn it on. JK

I believe it is to let you know that the TV has power, and is on standby. When you turn the TV on, it flashes, then goes off when there is a picture. I didn't look through the literature, so I hope that's correct. Good luck.

I no my tv did that when the bulb went bad. You might want to reinstall the bulb and make sure it is connected properly. If that does not work I think you have bad bulb. Hope this helps

Unplug the power and plug it back in. If you don't see a picture, it might be stuck in the wrong video mode. If it is, you might not be able to fix it without plugging it into a television that supports the mode it is currently in.

If you have the TV connected to a cable box( I have Comcast) you may be having a problem that has happened to me on occasion. Try selecting a different channel and the picture may come back. If the red light in the lower right corner does not blink when you turn the TV on then you might have a power issue. Beyond those simple steps I don't know what else you can do. Find your owners manual and see if there is a troubleshooting guide.

I can't help you with this one Scott. Mine is somewhat slow to go from dark screen to the picture coming on, but it has the best picture I have ever had on any TV I have ever owned.

Vickie, In the end I was not able to resolve the issue. I had 2 technicians out to try to fix it, but they weren't able to. Sharp is sending me a new TV (which is being delivered tomorrow afternoon). I'll let you know if it works any better.

I'm glad I found your post Alan... I almost sold this TV over the OPC issue. I found it terribly irritating, but turning it on and to 1 fixed it.
