My Samsung Ht X40 Gives An Electrical Burning Odor And Then Shuts Off..

Is there a recall on this item? There is an odor coming from my system as if it's about to catch on fire, then "protection on" displays before automatically shutting off.

Hi. While the DVD model was never recalled, you should be able to institute warranty claims if it is still under a year old.
