Maybe you're playing it too loud and your neighbors are zapping it 
with their remote controls through the window.  :-)  :-)

Plastic Jesi are more cost-effective than surge suppressors.
Surge protectors do nothing when the line voltage goes too low.

My Sony TV has the opposite problem:  When I push the power button to 
turn it off, it comes back on unless I hold the switch long enough for 
the filter capacitors to discharge.
