SYSTEM OPTIONS AND PREFERENCES

CHANGING THE SIGNAL SOURCE

The Signal Source menu allows you to choose the source from which you would like the signal to come: Antenna A, Antenna B, or DIRECTV or Video Inputs. The same can be accomplished using the ANTENNA, DIRECTV, and INPUT buttons on your remote control. If you misplace your remote control, use the front panel buttons to access this menu and change the signal source.

To access the Signal Source menu:

1.Press MENU on the remote control to access the main menu.

2.Select System Options from the main menu.

3.Select Signal Source from the next menu.

Select the appropriate signal source.

4.Use the arrows and OK to select which source from which you would like to receive a signal.

CHANGING THE SIGNAL TYPE

The Signal Type menu lets you choose whether you are receiving a signal from cable TV or an off-air antenna. When you run Channel Search (see “Channel Search” in this section for details), the TV automatically detects your signal and you don’t have to specify it here. However, if you decide to change the source, you will need to use the Signal Type menu. Note that if your signal source is coming from DIRECTV, this menu will not be available.

Select whether you are receiving signals from an off-air antenna or cable.
