Connections & Setup
Tuning to a Channel (continued)
Some channels might have been found during the channel search that are unavailable to view and you might want to get rid of these so they don’t appear as you change channels. To do this go to Main Menu/Setup Menu/List & Labels. Note that removing channels from your channel list may be time consuming, so you might want to do it later. Go to page 28 for details on editing your channel list.
What to Expect
Watching TV
•Remember: If you have an analog signal connected to your ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT, then you’ll view analog channels. (The ANTENNA button on the remote toggles analog and digital channels). Analog channels are sent in a 4:3 format. You can press the left arrow/ZOOM– and right arrow/ZOOM+ buttons on the remote to choose different screen formats (4:3, 16:9 or stretch). This is also known as the aspect ratio. Go to page 32 for examples of screen formats.
•Remember: If you have a digital signal connected to your ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT, then you’ll view digital channels. (The ANTENNA button on the remote toggles analog and digital channels). Most digital channels are sent in a 16:9 format; it depends on how the station is formatting the video. If so, you’ll see gray or black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. You can press the left arrow/ZOOM– and right arrow/ZOOM+ buttons to choose different screen formats (4:3, 16:9 or stretch). This is also known as the aspect ratio.
Note: Digital stations in native 4:3 format (you’ll see black or gray bars on the sides of the picture sent as part of the signal from the broadcaster) might not have this function.
