When I press Sleep on the remote, the tv screen shows "OFF" no 30,60 90, or 120. It used to work, what could it be? Is it something in the tv setup? How do I fix it? I need the sleep timer, HELP!
First try to access the sleep timer menu from the controls on the TV to verify the TV is working.
If that works then the remote has the problem.
Now try this;
Step 1- Pull the batteries out of the remote and leave them out until Step 4.
Step 2- Press and release each and every button one at a time on the remote control until every button has been pressed and released at least once!
Step 3- If your remote has slide switches, you must move the switch to each position then repeat the button pushing in Step 2.
(When you're done, be sure to put the slide switch in the correct position to operate the unit the remote came with!)
Step 4- Put the batteries back into the remote, being very careful to install them correctly.
New batteries should be used if you're not sure about the old ones.
If this does not work, then you may need a new remote unit.
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.
What if the timer doesn't work anymore by accessing it through the tv either?

I am having the same issue. The sleep timer worked for 4 years and now it only shows OFF. It won't work from the setup menu either. UGH!
Have you found anyone who could fix the problem?
