Thanks! I will try the HiV splitter, and if that doesn't work, I'll go
buy a plasma and junk this thing. It's a shame though...beautiful TV,
and it says made in USA (not China) on the back, too.

You don't have to buy the dammed splitter just to find out if it is bad.
Yank the red wire from the flyback to the splitter and leave it hanging in
the air.

DO NOT LET IT TOUCH ANYTHING OR COME NEAR ANYTHING. AT LEAST 3 INCHES
BETWEEN IT AND ANYTHING ELSE! TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND VOLTS AND IT HURTS LIKE
HELL!

Now fire up the set. If it does not shut down, okay, then your splitter is
probably bad. This is a lot better than buying a splitter just to find out.
