    Did you know that with the On timer function, you can schedule your TV to turn on automatically at a specific time? It's a super convenient way to wake up to your favorite morning news program on the TV. You can also set the timer to turn the TV off after a certain period, which is really handy if you forget to power it off before leaving home.
