Testing the Strength of the Terrestrial Digital Channels
The INSTALLATION screen will display the strengths of signals from the terrestrial digital channels. The screen displays a numerical strength indication and a bar graph accompanied by an audible tone to indicate signal strength. The higher the number, the greater the amount of the bar graph occupied, or the faster the beeping tone, the stronger the signal.
You should test the signal strength of each digital channel by “physical” Channel Number, not by “virtual” Channel Number. The “physical” Channel Number is the channel number that the FCC uses to identify the channel frequency, and it is a
To test the strength of terrestrial digital channel signals, highlighting the Source button on the INSTALLATION screen and pressing the SELECT key on the remote control will display the SOURCE
If you know the “physical” numbers for your local channels, use the number buttons on the remote control to select each channel number, and observe the signal strength. If you do not know these “physical” channel numbers, use the ▲ and ▲ keys on the remote control to change the channel one number at a time. Channels with a signal strength of less than 60 may require a better antenna, adjustment of the antenna angle, or the antenna may be too far away from the signal source.
