Any channels already found will be stored.

If you connected both cables to the ANALOG and DIGITAL INPUTS, the TV runs 2 separate channel searches.

4.Even though the initial channel search can take several minutes, you must complete it in order for your TV to display channels and programming. Press OK to begin the channel search. The menu shows the TV is running a channel search. When it's complete, the Channel setup menu remains on-screen. To exit the menu system, press CLEAR.

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 press OK (the List and Labels menu appears). Note that removing channels from your channel list may be time consuming, so you might want to do it later. Go to page 30 for details on editing your

What To Expect

Watching TV

Remember: If you have an analog signal connected to your ANTENNA/CABLE ANALOG INPUT, then view analog channels on your Analog Input. Look for an A at the bottom of the screen. Press the ANTENNA button if the A isn't appearing.

Analog channels are sent in a 4:3 format, which cannot fill a 16:9 screen like your TV so you'll see black bars on each side of the TV program. Press the ZOOM buttons to choose a format that may eliminate the black bars.

Remember: If you have a digital signal connected to your ANTENNA/CABLE DIGITAL INPUT, then view digital channels on your Digital Input. Look for a D at the bottom of the screen. Press the ANTENNA button if the D isn't appearing.

Most digital channels are sent in a 16:9 format which do fill your screen, but not always. It depends on how the station is formatting the video. If the TV program has black bars on each side, unfortunately you can't get rid of them.

Changing Channels

Digital channels can have both primary channels (like the analog channel number) and sub-channels. First tune to the Digital Input by pressing the ANTENNA button and look for a D at the bottom of the screen. To tune to a digital channel with a sub-channel, enter the primary channel number, then press the right arrow button. Enter the sub-channel number and press OK.

Depending upon the type of signals you have connected to your HDTV, you might notice that the channels change slower than you’re used to. This is perfectly normal. Digital cable channels sometimes take longer to tune.
