Keith---This is a common problem with the CTC203m chassis and the star* tuning system. From what I've been told, chances are that your customer is on cable and he watches channels like HGTV, Life and a few of the other specialty channels. Cause has something to do with audio muting on commercials & signal carried by the cable company, the effect is cumulative because it doesn't reset itself. There is no real fix from Thomson . Cure ---customer gets an exyension cord used for X-mass tree lites- male and female at one end and a switch at the other. When the sound goes off, cust switches set off (ie-kills power to set) counts to 20, re-powers set and is fine for a day, a week or until he's watched Martha too many times. (that's supposed to be humor).
