Note: Digital Channel selection delay Due to the tuning complexity of subchannel digital programming, the time to select and view a digital channel may take slightly longer than what the viewer is normally accustomed to (as compared to analog channel programs).

Digital channel broadcasts contain program and system data information that must be processed before the channel selection can be displayed.

Channel tuning

Available channels:

-Cable (analog NTSC or digital QAM)

-Terrestrial (analog NTSC or digital ATSC)

If a tuned channel is not yet in the

master channel map, the TV will attempt to tune to the channel and it will be added to the map.

If the channel is not acquired, a message will appear reporting that the channel is not available. When you tune an audio-only digital subchannel, a display appears with the message Audio only.

Note: Subchannel selections

The new standards employed with digital broadcasting make it possible to receive multiple program channels under a single major channel number which can be selected by pressing the digit remote control direct-access channel number entry.

Important:

After the installation of the TV channels is completed, always make a selection in the Installation menu between Antenna or Cable whether you want to watch Antenna TV channels or Cable TV channels.

If you make use of a signal splitter do not forget to put the switch in the corresponding position.

Weak channel installation

Antenna reception for broadcast channels may vary. If you are having difficulties acquiring weaker signals, we suggest

you use: Weak Signal Installation feature. Here’s how:

In the antenna mode, select a channel from the displayed list of TV channels. Select the “Start” by red button on the remote control; TV set will detect the signal.

2The signal strength is continuously displayed and updated as the antenna rotates.

When strength is enough to identify, user can store the channel in the channel list by green button on the remote control.

Software upgrade

This menu allows you to upgrade your TV software using a USB device.
