What to Expect

The next time you turn on your TV after setting up the GUIDE Plus+ system, the guide will appear on the screen. The following examples explain what you might see:

•If all of the program information has been sent to your TV, the GUIDE Plus+ system appears with all of your TV program listings.

•If the program information hasn’t been sent to your TV yet, an outline of the GUIDE (without TV program listings) will appear on the screen. Program information is usually sent to your TV at night.

•If more than one cable company services your area, you may be prompted with a Channel Mapping screen after the first GUIDE Plus+ system download. You will need to identify your cable company by selecting the correct channel numbers for the stations in question.

Features of the GUIDE Plus+ system are explained in Chapter 3.

To clear the guide from your screen, press CLEAR or GUIDE on the remote control.

Changing Channels

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. Your HDTV is able to interpret and display both analog (NTSC) and digital (ATSC) signals and the digital subchannels (when available). Also, you may notice that the size of the Channel Banner changes as you scan through analog and digital channels.

Turning the TV On and Off

Your HDTV is equipped with a lamp system that is part of the technology that enables us to design such a thin, light-weight TV with a crisp, bright picture. To prolong the life of the lamp, the TV must properly warm up and cool down. Therefore, the TV doesn’t turn off completely right away— it fades from blue to black. In case you accidentally turn off the TV, you can still turn it on while the screen is blue. Once the screen goes black, the lamp’s cool-down cycle begins (you may hear a slight humming noise as the lamp cools down). If you try to turn on the TV during the cool-down cycle, the power light on the front of the TV will blink to alert you that you need to wait (when the cool-down cycle is complete—about 30 seconds—the TV turns back on automatically).

Next Steps

Now that you’ve finished the Assisted Setup, you’re ready to watch TV. This might be a good time to program your remote control. The remote control that came with this TV can be programmed to operate other components. Go to the next chapter to find out how to program your remote.
