Troubleshooting

How do I set a power-on/-off timer?

  • You can set timers to power on/off your TV at the set time.
  • Before setting the timers, be sure to set the current time.
  • If the power is not connected, the timers are not available, so be sure to check the power connection status.
  • If you are using a set-top box connected to your TV, only the TV may be turned on at the set time, and the set-top box may not be turned on.

※ The setting method may vary depending on the model.
Please consult the user manual available under Customer Support on LG Electronics' website for more information.

Setting the TV to turn off after 2 hours
