[LG TV Settings] I cannot set the power on/off timer

Troubleshooting
  • 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

This function automatically turns the TV off if there is no remote control operation for 4 hours after the TV turns on automatically.
This prevents the TV from being turned on for a prolonged time in the absence of a user after the power-on function is activated.
