In a microprocessor controlled television set, a method for automatically turning on the set which was turned off due to power line noise includes steps for determining when the set is turned off due to noise, storing first data indicative of a prior-to-turn-off state of the set when the set is turned off due to noise and comparing the first data with second data indicative of a turned-off state when noise is removed. As a result of the comparison step, when the fist and second data are the same, the set is automatically turned on. However, if the first and second data are different from one another, the set is re-initialized using the first data. According to one aspect of the invention, when the set is re-initialized, the set must be turned on using a key manipulation. Thus, the user does not need to turn on a set manually when the set has been turned off due to power line noise.
