A flashing red light on a JVC television means the TV timer function is activated. When set, the programmable clock will automatically turn on and shut off the television at predetermined times. If this feature is accidentally activated (often by children playing with the remote control), the red light on the front panel may begin flashing mysteriously. Follow these steps to turn it off.
Step 1

You will have to re-set your preferred picture and audio options, as well as the TV's built-in clock after plugging the set back into the wall.
