Why does my tv turn itself off after a few minutes.?

tv with built in dvd player, when i turn it on it plays for a few minutes and then turns off. the timer is not set to turn it off.

Answer:
If its a philips its a common fault
check it 4 sleep timer, make sure it is int auto on for 5 minuets .
maybe u have it on sleep mode. which is when you go to bed and watch tv, you can set a timer so it turns off when in a certain time while you sleep, or mayb your house is haunted,,,,oooohhahaaaaoooohah...
Are you sure you have checked the timer on BOTH devices? Is there a separate menu for the TV and the DVD player ; even tho it is one unit?
Does your TV have a V-chip? Is it somehow activated?

What ever the problem, you should go online to the manufactures' website for "troubleshooting" answers.
maybe your just sitting on the remote
It is very common for this problem to be associated with a bad power supply inside the television. I would suggest consulting a certified TV repairman.
