To set the sleep timer, repeatedly press SLEEP until the TV screen shows SLEEP and the de- sired sleep time period (such as SLEEP 30 MINUTE). You can set the time in 30-minute in- crements, up to 120 minutes.

After 5 seconds, SLEEP and the selected sleep period disappear.

Press SLEEP at anytime while the timer is on to view the remaining sleep time for 5 seconds.

To cancel the sleep timer, repeatedly press SLEEP until SLEEP 0 MINUTE appears.
