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

button.

programmed to the button.

� 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.
