To use TV normally....set clock to "ON" and turn TV on using main TV controls.

To allow TV to shut itself off....set clock to "OFF" while watching TV, then dial up to 120 mins on dial.

To allow TV to turn itself on....set clock to "AUTO", set to desired channel, set time with alarm hand on clock, and be sure to turn TV on with main control.

To awake to alarm only.....set to "ALARM", set time with alarm hand on clock, and leave main TV control off.

Thanks! It never occurred to me that you could turn the set on with the alarm. Do you know what the 'alarm only' mode sounds like when it goes off ?

Its just a generic "buzzzzzz" sound.....pretty annoying actually!

How are the front clock adjustment rods? They are forked at the end to grab the knobs, and seem to always be broken off. Are the knobs ok? Do the seem original? Post pics please! thx
