Scanning for Over-the-Air Channels

With your over-the-air antenna adjusted for best reception, use these instructions to scan for over-the-air channels for the nearby TV.

1Make sure you have your over-the-air antenna connected to the optional module’s OVER-

THE-AIR ANTENNA IN connection.

2Press MENU, select System Setup, and then Local Channels. If this is the first time you have opened the Local Channels screen, it will have no channels listed.

3Scan for channels by selecting Scan Locals.

4The scan will take a few minutes to complete. When it finishes, the results will show how many channels the scan found.

Note: If the scan does not find any channels, verify that the Analog Type is set to Offair on the HDTV Setup screen. Press MENU, select System Setup, and then HDTV Setup. If necessary, use the left or right ARROW keys to navigate to Analog Type and then the up or down ARROW keys to change the setting to Offair. Select Done when finished.

5Select OK to go back to the Local Channels screen.

Note: If the channel number says None, you have not yet assigned this channel a network affiliation or name. The arrow at the bottom left means that there are more channels off the bottom of the screen, which you can get to with the ARROW keys if you wish to edit their names or remove them.

6If you want to name the over-the-air channels, continue to the next step. If you do not want to name these channels, select Done. You will then be taken out of the menus and back to watching TV.

7Select a channel and then select Edit Name to modify the way the channel name displays on your screen.

8Use the virtual keyboard on the screen to select the letters of your channel name.

9When you are finished making changes, select Done.
