lets you
easily deactivate
or reactivate
the
alarm without having to reset the
alarm time.
When the alarm time is reached,
the
set will turn on at whatever volume
and channel you left it when you last
turned it off. If you want the TV to
come on softly at the alarm time, be
sure the TV is playing softly when
you turn off the set for the last time
before the alarm comes on.
When the set turns itself on, it
automatically
activates the sleep
timer for one hour. This allows the
set to turn itself off after one hour.
This is helpful in case you leave for
the weekend and forget to deactivate
your alarm.
You won't have to
worry about your TV turning on and
playing all week-end.
When setting the alarm, check to
make sure the clock is set to the
correct time. The clock will show
"

" if it has not been set or if
there has been an extended
power
failure.
Details for setting the clock
are on page 3.
Your TV lets you know when the
alarm function is activated (turned
on) by displaying
the letters "ALM"
on the screen whenever
you press the
TV or DISPLAY
button or change
channels.
This means the TV will
turn itself on at the time you
programmed.

-Turning
the Alarm On and Off
+
Repeatedly press the SETUP button
to select the ALARM ON/OFF
function, and then press + or - to
change it.
When this function is turned OFF,
the alarm is deactivated and your
set will not turn on by itself.
When this function is turned ON,
the alarm is activated and your set
will turn on at whatever volume
and channel you left it when you
last turned it off.
Important
Note: During extended power
failures, the alarm function will work the
same as an analog-type alarm clock. The
alarm will stay programmed to the time it was
set, but the clock will stop during the power
failure. When power returns, the clock will
remember what time the power went off and
start again from that time. For example, if the
power was lost at 10:00PM and returned at
I0:15PM, the clock will be 15 minutes slow.
Therefore, unless you reset the clock to the
correct time, the alarm will turn on
15 minutes late. You can tell if a power
failure has occurred because the time display
will not appear on the TV screen when you
press the DISPLAY button.
