NOTE

If using this function for recording, make sure to set the timer of your recording equipment as well.

Do not switch channels while recording using this function.

This function cannot be set for locked services or when Child Lock applies. (Pages 25 and 28)

Up to 8 events can be preset using the Timer function.

If the TV is in standby mode when the preset on-air time nears, it will output signals for recording without image displayed on the screen.

If you are watching another event, an alarm message displays on the screen a few seconds before the preset time.

An alert message displays when the preset events overlap one another.

The TV power may not come on for several seconds if you preset an event using the EPG Timer and if the power to the TV is cut off.

Once you preset an event using EPG Timer, in DTV, and then press Bon the remote control to enter the standby mode, the power consumption will be higher than normal (about 23W) until the programmed event is broadcast. When pressing aon the TV to turn off the power, the power consumption will be same as normal standby consumption (about 2.4W: LC-37XD1E/2.3W: LC-42XD1E), and the EPG Timer will not be in operation.
