Chapter 6: Using the TV’s features
Switching between two channels using SurfLock™
The SurfLock™ feature temporarily “memorizes” one
channel to the button, so you can return to that channel quickly from any other channel by pressing
.
To memorize a channel to the 
button:
1無 Tune the TV to the channel you want to program
into the | button. |
| |
2無 Press and hold | for about 2 seconds until the | ||
message “Memorized” appears | |||
channel has been programmed to the | button. | ||
3無 You can then change channels repeatedly, and | |||
when you press | , the memorized channel will | ||
be tuned.
The TV will return to the memorized channel one
time only. Once you press and 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.
