I know this sounds strange, but was it just a power glitch that lasted a few
seconds or was it longer?
Try unplugging the unit overnight and then pluging it back in. Sometime with
modern electronics equipment like this, it can get confused and need to
basically be cold reset. Many Satellite receivers, vcr's and items like those
can be reset this way.
