On my panasonic viera tv i cannot set the sleep timer. the date/time are set properly but when i push 'menu' and then select 'timer' i am not able to select any of the options listed. please help!

The sleep timer is accessed through the Menu under System > Time. You may need to set the TV time first which is in the same sub-menu area. For the sleep timer using the smart control, press Menu/123. Use the pointer button to steer to Menu then press the Pointer. Repeat this to select System. Select Time. Then select Sleep Timer and choose your time (up to three hours) when you want the TV to turn off. From the regular remote, press Menu. Use the arrow keys and press OK to move through the above menu steps. You can also do this from the Menu button on the Control Stick (joystick type control) on the back of the TV (lower left-hand side).

See page 126 (page 132 of the PDF) of the e-manual for the JU7000 series TVs for additional information or the section on setting the TV time. The e-manual is available online or through the TV. To read this manual, press the e-manual button on the regular remote. If you have the smart control, press Menu/123. Then select the e-manual from the on-screen remote. Alternatively, press Menu and then select Support > e-manual. The quick guide does not have the information on setting the timer. See https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/UE40JU7000TXXU/ under the Download Manual section. You may need to expand the list.

I hope this helps.

Sleep Timer Mode

The Sleep Timer mode is an energy-saving feature that enables you to set a time for the monitor to
power on and off at the same time every day. This also extends the life of the backlight bulbs in the
monitor. The Sleep Timer has five settings:
? Set Current Time
? Set Sleep Time
? Set On Time
? Timer: On/Off
? Sleep Now

To set the timer:
1. Press the Menu button on the monitor front panel to display the OSD Menu.
2. Scroll down and highlight Management.
3. Press the OK button to select Management.
4. Scroll down and highlight and select Sleep Timer > Set Current Time.
NOTE: You must set the current local time before you reset the time for Sleep Time or On Time. Note that the time is displayed in a 24-hour clock format. For example, 1:15 p.m. is displayed as 13 hours 15 minutes. A power failure or loss of power to the monitor will cause the timer to reset to 00:00. If this occurs, you will need to reset the sleep timer mode.

5. Press the OK button once to enter the adjustment mode for hours.
6. Press the - (Minus) or + (Plus) button to adjust the hour.
7. Press the OK button again to enter the time for minutes.
8. Press the - (Minus) or + (Plus) button to adjust the minutes.
9. Press the OK button to lock in the time chosen.
10. After setting the current time, the highlight automatically skips to Set Sleep Time. Repeat steps 6 through 9 to set Sleep Time.
11. If you do not want to set Sleep Time, press the OK button twice, then select Save and Return to exit the menu.
12. After setting Sleep Time, the highlight automatically skips to Set On Time. Repeat steps 6 through 9 to set On Time.
13. Set the Timer mode to On to activate the Sleep Timer settings.
14. When you are finished, select Save and Return to exit the menu.

The fifth selection, Sleep Now, turns the monitor backlights off immediately and stays in sleep mode
until the next On Time activates or a monitor button is pressed.

Just look in the menu options for "Sleep mode" and set it to OFF! If that doesn't work, try unplugging the television for an hour or set. That usually resets it to the factory default setting. You might be able to reset it by looking in the menu options and select "Factory Reset" and that should reset the Sleep mode. Hope that helps!!

Which timer do you want to use? To use the On/Off Timer, press Menu and use the navigation arrows to select Time. Press Enter and navigate (up/down arrows) to select either On Time or Off Time. Press Enter and then use the up/dwon arrows to select Repeat. Select the frequency for the timer function (off, once, everyday etc.) with the left/right arrows. Use both the up/down and left/right arrows to set the time (hour or minute). Press Return to return to the previous menu and Menu to leave the OSD menus. For the On Time, you can also select the input source that will be shown when the TV comes on. (Select Input similarly to the above directions and set the desired channel if the source is TV.) The time must be for this to work (select Time and then Clock then Auto (gets the time from a digital channel) or Manual) and the TV must be in Standby mode for the On Timer to work. The TV will go into standby in two hours after coming on unless a button is pressed on the remote or the TV. The Off timer will override the TV On if they are set for the same time.

The Sleep timer is set in the same Time area or in the Q.menu (from the remote). Select Sleep time and then the length of time you want the tv to stay on before going to sleep. This is reset when the TV goes off.

The Shut-off time is set in the Time menu as well; select Auto Sleep. When this is on (on/off options), the TV will shut off after 10 minutes without a signal.

I hope this helps.

(you will have to reset the timer after a power failure)

First, here is a copy of your manual in case it is missing.

http://www.warrantyweek.com/library/ww20061219/panasonic-th42px60u-manual.pdf

Next, check the settings of the sleep timer.
Select on the remote:
Menu.
Timer.
Sleep.
See if there is a time setting in there. You may also find a shortcut from the remote labeled "Sleep".

If this fails to resolve the issue, you can always reset to factory defaults. To do this, select from the remote:
Menu.
Setup.
Reset.

Hope this helps. Be sure to let us know how this helped.

I had the same problem. I fixed it by going to menu > setup > restore to default. I had to readjust my picture settings and relabel all my hdmi connections but it fixed the sleep timer.

The TV is in 'showroom mode'. To fix: Click: Menu --> Picture --> Mode --> Power up then select: Home. Then click menu until you exit the settings. You will now be able to use the sleep timer.
