   Hi John T,   
      
       For many devices,  unplugging for a while does act like a reset, but   
   not in this case.   I had it unplugged for over 24 hours, but that did NOT   
   resolve the issue.   
      
      I could NOT find a Service Manual (PDF file) for this unit via google   
   search.   
      
       I wonder if a relay is "stuck" (contacts "fused" together) ?   
      
       Maybe, as a last resort, I will have to open up the unit,  However,   
   I can still use it as long as I unplug it after I turn it off.   
      
                        John
