    IMPORTANT: This article applies only to specific products and/or operating systems. Check Applicable Products and Categories for details.

    With the On timer function, you can set your TV to turn on automatically at a specific time. Waking up to see your favourite morning news programme on the TV is one example of how convenient this feature is. The timer can also turn the TV off after a certain period (for example, if you forget to power it off before leaving home).

    Sony recommends you use the Talkback function to set up the On timer function.

    Setting up the 'On timer'

    1. On the TV remote control, press the Quick Settings (spanner or gear) button.
    2. Select Timer → Add.
    3. Press the Back button to turn the timer on.

    The Timers menu has eight different settings you can adjust: TimeRepeatDateInputsChannelVolume setupDuration, and Timer activation.

    Note: To access multiple timer settings, press the Up arrow button and select Add.
