</div>This is a known problem with many LCD TVs and IR receivers. The LCD<br>
backlight is a fluorescent which interferes with normal IR operation.<br>
<br>
In the case of my Sony, it only happens during the first 20 seconds<br>
after the TV is turned on, or if I turn on "power save" mode (which<br>
effectively dims the backlight as the room darkens.)<br>
<br>
Some people have solved this problem by switching to other IR receivers.<br>
