Use Full Search the first time that your TV is setup to

search for channels on Antenna A and B. Full Search will also automatically detect the proper Air or Cable setting.

A Full Channel Search requires several minutes to complete. Thereafter, use Quick Search. It only searches the currently- tuned antenna, keeps the Air or Cable setting the same, and is faster. Quick Search is useful when adjusting an over-the-air antenna to receive the channels for your area.

Tip: If you have Cable and Air, connect Cable to Antenna A. If you have only Air, connect it to Antenna A.

Status: Antenna A (Cable), Antenna B (Air).

Full Search

Quick Search

Press OK to startt a Full Channel Search of both antennas including automatic detection of Cable or Air antenna.

Channel Search

Engaging in a channel search tells the TV to search for all the terrestrial TV channels available through the antenna 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.

The Channel Search screen lets you choose a Full Search or a Quick Search.

Full Search Searches both Antenna A and B, and automatically detects whether they are cable or off-air.

Note: A Full Search can take several minutes.

Quick Search Searches only for channels on the antenna you’re currently using and uses the current Air or Cable setting. For optimum reception, you need to conduct a Quick Search after you’ve adjusted a terrestrial antenna because the TV might pick up new channels.

Notes: Channel Search takes a long time to complete because all possible analog and digital channels are being searched.

If a cable box is connected to Antenna A and GUIDE Plus+ Setup was performed, a channel search will not be permitted.

You should not normally need to change the settings above because they are set automatically by a Full Channel Search. If a setting in this screen is changed, you may have to run a new Quick Channel Search to find that signal type's channels.

Tip: If you have Cable and Air, connect Cable to Antenna A. If you have only Air, connect it to AntennaA.

You can select the Air/Cable setting for Antenna A and Antenna B. Press OK to continue.

Signal Type

The Signal Type screen lets you choose whether you are receiving a signal from cable TV or an off-air antenna for Ant A or Ant B. When you run a Full Search in Channel Search, the TV automatically detects your signal and you don’t have to specify it here. However, if you decide to change the source, you can use the Signal Type screen. Changing the source on Antenna A may mean that you will have to make changes to your GUIDE Plus+ Setup settings.
