If you want to use the EPG for digital stations, select

while the TV is in standby mode. After setting to “Yes”,
it may take some time to turn off the power using the
remote control unit or the TV due to the data capture
process.
Go to “HOME” > “TV Menu” > “Setup” > “View
setting” > “Individual setting” > “Standby search”
> “EPG”.
ESelecting EPG to “Yes” will result in higher power
consumption*.
ESelecting EPG to “No” will save power consumption.
NOTE
* Approximately 20W or more for 15-30 minutes (depending
on number of channels tuned) after power off from remote
control.
If you connect additional peripherals eg. USB / HDMI, the
power consumption could rise to 50W.

power switch at the TV control panel.
