ON•OFF Turns the TV on or off. Your HDTV is equipped with a special lamp
system. In order to preserve the life of the lamp, the TV must warm up and
cool down properly when you turn the TV on and off. When you turn the TV
off, the screen turns blue and fades to black. While the screen is blue, you can
still turn the TV back on. If the screen is black and the light on the front of the
TV blinks when you try to turn it on, the TV’s lamp is in its cool-down cycle—
wait about 30 seconds and then the TV will turn back on automatically.
In other modes (VCR, DVD, SAT/CAB, AUX, AUDIO), if programmed, turns the
component on and off.
