Thanks for the response.

It does have PIP but I have never used it.

Considering that the set has never shown the symptom before and is very
seldom used, I suspect it is a capacitor problem.

Thanks for pointing out the abuse that the quick power cycles are
doing...I will not cycle it again.

I really hate to just toss the set since the television is still a
quality set. When I compare it to the current offerings, one can easily
see the quality differences that have been made in the market.

Where would you suggest one go to get the schematic for this set? Is
SAMS still around?
