    No Play Timer on Avant

    My parents are moving, and I've borrowed their Avant (28 dvd) for a few weeks. I've put it in my bedroom and masterlinked it to my bv6 and bs9000, picture and sound wise everything is working ok, but I don't have the option (on the avant) to turn the timer on (which I use as an alarm clock). I had no problems using a bv1 in an identical setup previously.

    Anybody got any ideas?

    Many thanks

    Re: No Play Timer on Avant

    Assuming all option settings and timer programmings have been made.

    ... on the rear side of the display you'll find some buttons ...
    One of them disables/enables an already programmed "Play Timer".
    If set to "on" the display will show "PT"

    Re: No Play Timer on Avant

    Thank you Vienna, this solved the problem. The TV was bought used and although it came with a manual it stated the play timer was within the TV options (which is where I have always seen it), but the manual is obviously not correct for the Avant type, and I never noticed the button by the display. You learn something new everyday...........

     

    Thanks again

    Hi Ian,

     

    You're mixing things up. The playing timer inside the avant is a timer which can be used throughout the whole system inside your house.

    The PT-button is only used to let the avant respond to the programmed timer.
