Complete the Channel Search
Even though the initial channel search can take time, you must complete it in order for your TV to display channels and programming. With Auto Channel Search highlighted, press OK to begin the channel search. The menu shows the TV is running a channel search. The TV tunes to a program once the search is complete.
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, highlight Manual Channel Setup from the Setup menu. Note that removing channels from your channel list may be time consuming, so you might want to do it later. Go to page 24 for details on editing your channel list.
