Complete Channel Search

Even though this initial channel search can take several minutes, it is important to complete in order for your TV to display channels and programming. Make sure you have connected cable and/or off-air antenna to the corresponding inputs before you start channel search.

1. Press the right arrow button to access the channel search screen, then use

the up and down arrow buttons to choose an option. Press the OK button

to toggle the option on (check mark in box) or off.

Tip

The ﬁrst Channel Search takes several minutes if the TV is searching for analog and digital channels and cable and antenna inputs are being searched. You may want to leave and come back later.

Tip

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

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.

Note: 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.

2. Press the down arrow to highlight Start and press OK to begin the setup.

3. When the channel search is complete, a message screen appears. Select

Connections menu. See Chapter 4 for more details.
