Panasonic 50 inch plasma television. Turns on and shows sound and picture perfectly for about 5 seconds then shuts down and the power light blinks 11 times, then stops for 3 seconds and then repeats. It appears to be going into a "protection mode". Anyone know anything about this??

I don't know the specifics and I think I've posted this before - I have a 54" Panasonic plasma (at least I think it's 54") and it's been service call after service call after service call. The biggest problem is that the sound goes up and down by itself. One minute you're leaning forward to hear; the next minute it's blasting the wallpaper off the walls. The repairman appears baffled.

I was told it goes into protection mode when it's in danger of overheating.

I would NEVER buy another Panasonic TV.
