Chapter 4: Setting up your TV

Programming channels into the TV’s channel memory

When you press <or ,on the remote control or TV control panel, your TV will stop only on the channels you programmed into 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 in the channel memory.

Note:

•You must configure the antenna input source before programming channels (- page 25).

•If the Antenna 1 input signal type is set to Cable, the automatic channel programming process erases channels that were previously programmed into the TV’s memory.

•If the Antenna 1 input signal type is set to Antenna, the automatic channel programming process adds newly found channels to the existing set of programmed channels (and does NOT erase channels that were previously programmed into the TV’s memory). To remove an antenna source channel from the memory, you must manually delete it.

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

•If you have a CableCARD™ inserted, channel programming for the ANT 1 input is disabled because the CableCARD™ automatically loads the Cable channel list into the TV’s channel memory. See the Installation Guide for details on CableCARD™.
