My Philips 37 inch HDTV, automatically goes into the menu and moves by itself. what do i do?

I already upgraded the firmware and it still goes back into the menu. is it because i tried using an antenna to get tv? because i cut off my cable tv a while ago and tried to get OTA tv.. i bought an HDTV antenna.. and then the problems began after that. i unplugged the antenna cables but still the tv still goes into the menu and goes into a frenzy

    It sounds like you might have a problem with the TV Try unplugging unit for a couple hours and then plug back in. If still doing it you prob need a service call. the newer tvs and stereos are basically computers and when the memory gets scrambled usually the only way to straighten it out is to reset it ( like a cold boot) if this doesn't work(likely won't) get a service person ( note unit must unplugged long enough to drain capacitors)

    Something wrong with the micon IC or maybe the EEPROM IC.
