Programming channels into the TV’s channel memory

When you press CHANNEL y or z on the remote control or TV front panel, your TV will stop only on the channels stored in the TV’s channel memory.

Follow the steps below to program channels into the TV’s channel memory.

Programming channels automatically

Your TV can automatically detect all active channels in your area and store them in its memory. After the channels are programmed automatically, you can manually add or erase individual channels.

Note:

•You must configure the antenna input sources before programming channels (see page 40).

•The automatic channel programming process does NOT erase channels that were previously programmed into the TV’s memory, but adds newly found channels to the existing set of programmed channels. To remove a channel from the memory, you must manually delete it (see next page).

•To tune the TV to a channel not programmed in the channel memory, you must use the Channel Number buttons on the remote control.

•Programming channels for an antenna input configured for CABLE will take substantially longer than for an antenna input configured for ANTENNA. This is normal; however, once channel programming is completed, you should not have to repeat the programming process again unless your Cable TV service lineup changes significantly.

•If you have a CableCARD inserted (page 12), channel programming for ANT 1 is disabled because the CableCARD automatically loads the Cable channel list in the TV’s channel memory.

To program channels automatically:

1.Make sure you have configured the antenna input sources. See page 41 for details.

2.Press MENU and open the SETUP menu.

3.Highlight INSTALLATION and press ENTER. (A new set of INSTALLATION menu icons will appear on-screen.

The TV will automatically cycle through all the channels for the antenna input you selected, and store all active channels in the channel memory. While the TV is cycling through the channels, the message “Scanning channels, please wait” appears (as shown above right).

To cancel channel programming, either press EXIT or highlight ABORT in the on-screen display and press

ENTER.
