•ShowView channel setting – This setting lets you assign guide channels to ensure that the ShowView® programming system works correctly. See ShowView CH Setting on page 79.

•Setting up the remote to control your TV – You can set up the supplied remote control to control many brands of TV. See Setting up the remote to control your TV on page 90.
