Wink Haunted Jensen AWM970 Stereo

All of a sudded out of no where the Jensen AWM970 stereo in our TT seems to have a mind of its own.
Some of you may have been following my thread about the 11.7amp power draw.
Now, with THAT problem solved and everything hooked back up the stereo comes on all by itself.
We have checked to make sure we don't have the alarm set and we don't.
May be there is something we don't understand about the units operation.
Any Ideas?

Funny, I might have the same issue. It came on several times, I beleive at different times of the day for us. I sent one of the kids in to investigate and turn it off. Then the next night it came on again. This time I went in and found that the alarm was on. The alarm button is easy to hit and it defaults to midnight if you don't set something different. We came home that day so have not been able to see if we are still being haunted or not but will be paying more attention to it next time we go out.

The radio should not turn ON by itself from the STANDBY position. Please try pressing the reset button. This should clear any alarm settings as well as any potential software errors in memory that may have occurred. This is located in the lower left corner of the radio, near the “DOLBY DIGITAL” logo. Use a paperclip/pen to depress for about 2 seconds while the radio is ON. See if this clears up the issue.

If the problem returns, we would like to do some further troubleshooting, and possible warranty replacement, if needed. It would be best for you or your dealer to call us for some troubleshooting to help find a solution. You can reach us on our toll free technical support line at (877) 845-8750. We are available M-F 8:00 AM till 6:00 PM EDT.

We look forward to hearing back from you.

UPDATE:Saturday 8/18/12 5:55am: Stereo came back on-trailer is in our yard at home-I had turned all speakers off execpt the outside ones and turned up the volume so I could just stick my head out the front door of the house to check oin it-it must have come back on about a half hour ago, woke me up inside the house and probably the neighbors too!!

There was a "message" on the front screen sayiny "1158 LOAD" we have only tried a dvd in the unit once and took it back out-we checked and there is no dvd or cd in it, and again pushed the reset button last night as insrtucted.......

When I pushed the reset button for 2 seconds last night the unit shut off....

May be Patrick or Whoopie could help??

-Nother Update folks: Now that I have put my glasses on what I said was on the screen as "1158 Load" IS IN FACT "USB LOAD" we NEVER have pluged in a USB cable to the unit, we tried a CD and a DVD back in January when we bought the trailer...all worked fine.

JENSEN: My Wife IS communicating with someone in your company about this.....we'd like to deal direct with JENSEN to get this fixed because we are sick to death of the RV dealers here with warranty stuff.
