How to Add Local Off-Air Digital Channels

To add a local digital channel:

1. Press MENU 6-1-5to open the Local Channel Setup menu.

2.Use the Scan Digital selection to add the local channels to the Program Guide automatically or select the Add DTV option on the Local Channel Setup menu. This opens the Add Local Digital Channel menu.

3.Enter the Transmit Channel number for the channel you want to add. You must enter two digits. For single digit numbers, place a zero in front of it.

Note: The Transmit Channel number and the broadcast Channel Number are not necessarily the same.

The menu displays a signal strength bar. Adjust the aim of the TV antenna until the bar is green, shows the strongest possible signal, and says Locked. The menu shows a Channel Number in green if the receiver is getting enough digital channel information via the off-air signal, in yellow if it is not.

Note: Some digital channels do not broadcast all the time. You may need to wait until the channel is being broadcast.
