Your TV will automatically turn on at a specific time when using the On timer function. Waking up to your favourite morning news programme is one example of how convenient this function is. What's more, the On timer function can also turn off the TV automatically after a certain period of time, so you can leave the house without turning off the TV.
Sony recommends you use the Talkback function to set up the On timer function.
