Switching between two channels using SurfLock

The SurfLockfeature temporarily “memorizes” one channel to the Rbutton, so you can return to that channel quickly from any other channel by pressing R. To memorize a channel to the Rbutton:

1 Tune the TV to the channel you want to program into the

Rbutton.

2 Press and hold Rfor about 2 seconds until the message “Channel Memorized” appears on-screen. The channel has been programmed to the Rbutton.

3 You can then change channels repeatedly, and when you press R, the memorized channel will be tuned.

The TV will return to the memorized channel one time only. Once you press Rand then change channels again, the CH RTN memory will be cleared and the button will function as Channel Return, by switching back and forth between the last two channels that are tuned.This feature also works for external inputs.
