Why does the TV turn off after 4 hours?

I have not had that problem with my set, suggestion could your set be pre-programmed to shut off after 4 hours. Review your owners manual or the set up screen

I did not have this exact problem but there has been a rash of bad circuit boards axcording to the tech. Its unusual yours works intermittent ly versus complete failure. If I had to guess it sounds like you have a cooling problem and theset shuts down to save itself. Try putting a small fan behind it.

Energy saver setting.....television will shut off if no activity is detected such as channel change or volume change. You may be able to disable this feature by referring to the owners manual.

our 3 yo twins play with everything they can get their hands on, about the time they turned 3 our tv started turning off randomly, figured out they had inadvertantly programed a shut-off. at first thought neighbors remote was doing it but was same time every day:-)

Try plugging a lamp into one of the other controlled sockets. It does not turn off after 20 minutes, but the sound bar does, then there is something wrong with the sound bar. If the lamp does turn off when the sound bar turns off, it might be that the current draw of the TV is marginal with respect to the trigger point of the ZuniDigital. Plug the TV --AND-- the lamp (with about a 50 Watt bulb) into the ZuniDigital main socket by using a multitap AC adapter. If the sound bar stays on, it will prove that the TV current draw was not high enough for the ZuniDigital. If the sound bar still turns off, replace the ZuniDigital.

I have not experienced this problem with my TV. My TV is plugged in all the time and comes on/off each time I press the power button.

According to the manual, it has an auto-shutdown function that turns itself off after 12 hours of non use. My kids pause video games and leave the room for hours on end, and it never shuts itself off. Sounds like your unit has a issue.

nope, I jus have it plugged into a power strip and I just turn it on when I start watchin' movies. And I turn it off like 15mins later after I turn off system to get rid of left over heat works perfect.....

That's normal. I called the company about that because the TV would turn off. It needs to be plugged directly into the wall outlet.

Mine's been fine for months; thank God! Are you making sure to totally shut the TV off when not in use?

I don't think so. I keep it set at 3 hours and the only way to stop it from working is to unplug it. (e.g. I only want it on for 2 hours)

Hi Paul,I bot mine in late Nov 2010. It has a VIzio remote with a slide out querty key board. And yes, my tv does occasionally shut off. It usually takes a minute or 2 to reset and turn itself back on. It happens about once every 3-4 weeks with my set - sometimes more frequently. From what I have been able to gather from reading reviews, not all sets have this problem. And the severity of the problem seems to vary with those who have it. Other than that, I love it.Jer

There is a feature on the TV that will turn it off due to inactivity. If you go into the settings you can change that to an extended period of time, but I am not sure if you can turn it off completely. If it isn't that than I am not sure what the issue would be from. Hope this helps.

Only if your TV doesn't restart. If the lamp was bad (burned out) the picture would not come back, until you replace the bulb.Sometimes the remedy for the TV turning on and off is unplugging the TV and waiting 10 minutes or so to plug back in.

Hmmm . . . I was in a room without television when I tried them, and I believe the set in the other room was off. I'll try again without any other electronics on and update. Thanks for the tip!

Make sure you put the cover of the TV back on (closes a circuit as a safety measure) - otherwise your TV won't turn on.

Evidently unplugging the TV reboots the software, and sets the TV back to its initial factory settings. I do the same thing with my Sony 3D player from time to time since it sometimes pauses briefly while watching a movie and it can be fixed by unplugging it.

I don't have any problems with mine. The TV may draw too few electricity to keep the controlled outlets active. Try with a different appliance such as a table lamp on the main. If that fails then you may have a defective unit.

This tv keeps playing over hour and a half after power outage. Mine kept playing for 2-3 hrs during power outage.
