Checking the Digital-Signal Strength

Digital

Unlike analog channels, which can vary in reception quality from “snowy” to clear, digital (HDTV) channels have either perfect reception quality or you will not receive them at all. So, unlike analog channels, you cannot fine tune a digital channel.

You can, however, adjust your antenna to improve the reception of available digital channels.

1 Press the MENU button. Press the … or † button to select “Channel”, then press the ENTER button.

2 Press the … or † button to select “Signal Strength”, then press the ENTER button.
