I have heard before that Philips HTS3544 can experience some sort of power problem, but I was yet to encounter it. So, it happened! Came home from a brief trip and the unit would not turn on. The red indicator was red, but the receiver was not responsive to either the power button or the remote. Two factors may have contributed to this:
- There was a power outage the day before I left. I did not turn on the HTS3544 since.
- I turned off the entire array of electronics with a master switch, so the unit did not have power for three days.
I unplugged the home theater for about 5 seconds, waited for the red light to go off, and then plugged it back in. It worked just fine. I assume that a bunch of settings were lost, but at least I can watch DVD again!

When I got mine from Best Buy on a deal, i was so excited, I plugged the whole thing in - and guess what- the darned thing was DOA - oh yeah the fan started up but no response.
I hated the fact that I had to pack it all back in and get it to fit in that impossibly sized box :)
