SYSTEM OPTIONS AND PREFERENCES

CHANNEL SEARCH

Engaging in a channel search tells the HD receiver to search automatically for all the terrestrial channels available through the antenna inputs. When the HD receiver finds an active channel, it places it in the channel list. Inactive channels (weak stations or channels with no signal at all) will not be placed the channel list.

The Channel Search screen lets you choose to do either a Full Search or a Quick Search. A Full Search searches both Antenna A and B, automatically detects whether you are using cable or an off-air antenna, and may take many minutes. Quick Search searches only for channels on the antenna you’re currently using and is completed faster than a Full Search.

Running channel search collects all available channels in a channel list.

SET VCR TYPE

In order to use one-touch recording, you need to tell the HD receiver which VCR brand you are using.

1.Press MENU on the remote control to bring up the main menu.

2.Highlight System Options and press OK.

3.Highlight Set VCR Type and press OK.

4.Use the arrows or digit buttons to input the correct three-digit code for your VCR brand. The three-digit VCR codes are located in the “Setup and Connections” section of this book.

5.Follow the on-screen instructions to ensure that you are using the correct code. If the VCR automatically stops, then you know that the HD receiver and the VCR are communicating.

•Note that some VCR brands may not be capable of being controlled by the HD receiver.

You can also edit the channel list and remove unwanted channels by using the Profiles menu.

Another way to add channels is to directly tune to them using the digit buttons on the remote control. If the system can obtain that channel’s signal, it will be added into the channel list.
