There are several things to be aware of when the TV's searches for channels.

If you chose Cable as your signal type, the search takes a while because it's looking for analog and digital channels, and then it's removing scrambled channels found. Here is what happens during the search:

1.The search first looks for digital channels and places the number of channels found next to Digital Channels found. This number will probably seem like a lot. This is because the number includes both scrambled (for example, Pay Per View) and non-scrambled channels. These channels are dependent upon what your cable company is sending.

2.The search then looks for analog channels and places the number of channels found next to Analog Channels found.

3.The search might appear as if it is complete, but as long as the search says Running, it is still in progress. What's happening at this point is the TV is removing scrambled channels from the channel list. When the search is finally complete, the Channel setup menu will look like the picture to the left. To exit the menu system, press CLEAR.
