Setting up TV

The first time you start TV, you must complete the Initialization Wizard. After that, the Wizard will not run unless you want to re-run it in order to change settings. The Initialization Wizard guides you quickly and easily through setting up TV channels, Parental Control, Sound, and TV-on-Demand.

Note

•If you have a Video-In card, only the Sound Initialization Wizard is used.

•TV-on-Demand is only available if your card supports it.
