Using the game timer
You can use the game timer to set a time limit for playing a video game
(30-120 minutes). When the game timer is activated, the TV enters
VIDEO LOCK mode and locks out the input source for the video game
device.
To set the game timer:
1. From the LOCKS menu, select GAME TIMER.
2. Press x or • to select the length of time until the video mode is
blocked from among 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. When the
number is highlighted, the timer will start countdown.
