Channel tuning

çAfter the installation of the TV channels has been done, always make a selection in the Installation menu, Installation mode between Antenna or Cable whether you want to watch Antenna TV channels or Cable TV channels.

)If you make use of a signal splitter do not forget to put the switch in the corresponding position.

Available channels:

-Cable (analog NTSC or digital QAM): max. from 1 to 135

-Terrestrial (analog NTSC or digital ATSC): max. from 2 to 69

If a tuned channel is not yet in the master channel map, the TV will attempt to tune the channel and it will be added to the map.

If the channel is not acquired, a message will appear that the channel is not available.

When you tune an audio-only digital subchannel, a display appears with the message Audio only.

çSubchannel selections

The new standards employed with digital broadcasting make it possible to receive multiple program channels under a single major channel number which can be selected by pressing the digit channel number entry.

çDigital Channel selection delay

Due to the tuning complexity of subchannel digital programming, the time to select and view a digital channel may take slightly longer than what the viewer is normally accustomed to (as compared to analog channel programs).

Digital channel broadcasts contain program and system data information that must be processed before the channel selection can be displayed.
