To turn your TV on or off:

2Press the (power) button on the TV or POWER on the remote control to turn on the TV.

Warning: The AC plug supplied with this TV is polarized to help minimize the possibility of electric shock. If the polarized AC cord does not fit into a non-polarized AC outlet, do not file or cut the blade. It is your responsibility to have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet. Do not use this plug with an extension cord or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted.

Understanding US channel numbering

Most digital TV channels have more than one channel. The main channel carries the signal for the main TV program. The sub-channels carry signals for additional or alternate programming, such as a radio or news broadcast.

For example, if the main channel number is 8, the sub-channel number might be 8-1, 8-2, or 8-3.

To select a sub-channel:

1Press the number buttons for the main channel (for example 8).

2Press the • button, then press the sub-channel button (for example 1).
