Tip

Signal Strength only shows antenna channels since it’s for helping you adjust an antenna if you have one connected to your TV.

Connections Menu

The Connections menu specifies various ways to adjust the inputs to your television. Items in the Connections menu are: Signal Strength, Channel Search, Signal Source, Video Input Setup, Auto Tuning, and Special Features.

Signal Strength

This screen lists any antenna channel EVER added to the TV. The list shows the channel number, the station name (only when tuned and available, e.g. NBC), whether the channel is digital or analog, which tuner is picking up the channel, and current signal strength of digital channels.

When you move the highlight to the Signal Strength list, the TV attempts to tune to that channel. You can then adjust your off-air antenna for maximum signal strength (largest number) for the selected channel. The signal strength for a digital channel will be shown as “- -” until the signal is strong enough for use, then numbers will appear. Analog channels will always have the display, “N/A”, since analog signal strength is not measured.

Only primary channels appear in the list. Cable channels and digital subchannels, e.g. 8-1, 8-2, do not appear.

Note: If you have an antenna connected to the Antenna and Cable Inputs, press the ANT•CAB button to view your channels on the Antenna Input, or vice-versa.

Channel Search

Engaging in a channel search tells the TV to search for all the TV channels available through the Antenna and Cable inputs. When the TV finds an active channel, it places it in the channel list. Inactive channels (weak stations or channels with no signal at all) aren’t placed in the channel list.

Start

To add a channel that Channel Search didn't find, clear all menus and directly tune to the channel with the number keys.

To do a full channel search, check each box that pertains to your TV. For

Press OK to start a Channel Search using only the search features that are checked above.

Tip

You can still add a channel that was not found by Channel Search. Clear any on-screen menus, and tune to it by using the number buttons on the remote. If the channel can be tuned, it will be added to the channel list for that tuner.

example, if you’re only receiving cable from the CABLE INPUT, highlight Cable Input and press OK to place a check mark in the box. Select Start to begin the setup.

Notes: Channel Search with all options selected takes some time to complete because all possible analog and digital channels are being searched.

If a cable box is connected to your TV’s CABLE INPUT or the CableCARD slot is in use, don’t check the Cable Input box.
