Why You Should Use the Auto Tuning Feature

The auto-tuning feature automatically tunes the TV to the correct channel for different components you have connected to your TV (like a VCR, DVD Player, etc.) When you set up auto tuning in the menu system you don’t have to remember to change your TV to channel 3, for example, when you want to watch the tape in your VCR.

How to Set Up the Auto Tuning Feature

When you set auto tuning, you’re telling the TV what channel to tune to when you press the VCR, DVD, or SAT•CABLE button on the remote control.

1.Press MENU (the TV MAIN MENU appears).

2.Highlight Channel and press OK on your remote control.
