Channel and Program Tuning - DTV

Channel and program tuning in digital television is very different from current conventional television. In DTV, up to six (6) multiple programs can exist within a single 6 MHz channel. These programs behave as subchannels within the single channel. When tuning to a channel, the STB will also tune to a program. Your STB will indicate the channel and program through the on-screen Channel Banner display.

Channel and Program Tuning

The STB allows channel and program selection in the following ways:

C3 Direct Tuning (0 ~ 9 keys) - Tunes directly to a channel or program.

OChannel Up/Down Tuning (A or • buttons) - Tunes to the next or previous available channel or program.

[3 Next Program Tuning (PROG button) - Tunes to the next program within a single 6 MHz channel.

_1 Rapid Tuning (R-TUNE button) - Switches between the last two remembered channels or programs.

Next Program Tuning

The PROG button on the remote control allows you to select programs within a single 6 MHz channel. Each time the PROG button is pressed, the STB will move to the next available program within the channel.

Note: Only programs within the current 6 MHz channel can be selected using the PROG button. If only one (1) program appears, it indicates only one (1) program is available.

Channel Tuning Using Certain Panasonic Televisions

Some Panasonic television models* will automatically switch between using the STB or the TV to tune channels.

DTV

When the remote control is in DTV mode and either the 0 ~ 9 numeric keypad or the Channel Up/Down (A or • buttons) is used, the television will automatically switch to DTV input. Channel tuning will be done through the STB.
