If you are having difficulty tuning to a digital channel that you know exists, what may help is to disable acqusition of Digital Channel Info. However, you should know that this will affect the acquisition of ratings, program titles, and channels names for digital channels. It may also affect the ability to tune to the correct channel from the Guide (for a Watch or Record timer, for example). Whenever possible you should set the Digital Channel Info to be acquired. Disabling Digital Channel Information does not affect the acquisition of GUIDE Plus+ channel listings.
Use OK to add/remove the check. A check will acquire the Digital Ch. Info for this input. No check will not acquire it.
Digital Channel Info
The Digital Channel Info option allows the TV to receive information about digital TV channels, such as program titles. The default is set to Acquire Digital Channel Information for Antenna A, B, and DTVLink/1394 inputs. Disabling acquisition of Digital Channel Info option should be reserved as a last resort because you may not receive important program guide information. You can elect to receive or not receive Digital Channel Info for Antenna A, Antenna B, and DTVLink/1394 independently. A new Quick Channel Search will occur for Antenna A and Antenna B when changing its Digital Channel Info setting.
Notes: When the TV is locked and you try to access the Digital Channel Info screen, the Password Entry screen appears (enter the password).
Disabling Digital Channel Info for an input source does not affect the acquisition of GUIDE Plus+ channel listings.
Channels remain blocked or viewable in the Parental Control feature regardless of the Digital Channel Info setting although the channels may appear to have changed.

Brighter Picture
Longer life
You can choose the lamp's power setting. The "Longer Life" setting produces a picture that is less bright, however, it should extend the life of the lamp as compared to the "Brighter Picture" setting. Choose a selection that best fits your viewing environment and intended usage of the TV.
This TV uses Lamp Type A. Please make a note of it for future reference.
The lamp that lights the TV picture can be set for a brighter picture or a longer life (less bright). Press OK to continue.
