Programming channels into the

TV’s channel memory

When you press or on the remote control or TV
control panel, your TV will stop only on the channels you
programmed into the TV’s channel memory.
Follow the steps below to program channels into the TV’s
channel memory.

Programming channels automatically

Your TV can automatically detect all active channels in your
area and store them in its memory. After the channels are
programmed automatically, you can manually add or erase
individual channels in the channel memory.
Note:
You must configure the ANT/CABLE input source before
programming channels ( page 28).
The automatic channel programming process will erases
channels that were previously programmed into the TV’s
memory.
To tune the TV to a channel not programmed in the channel
memory, you must use the Channel Number buttons on the
remote control.
Programming channels when the ANT/CABLE input is
configured for Cable will take substantially longer than
when the antenna input is configured for Antenna. This is
normal; however, once channel programming is finished,
you should not have to repeat the programming process
again unless your Cable TV service lineup changes
significantly.

To program channels automatically:

Configure the antenna input source, if you have not
already done so (page 28).
Press and open the Setup menu.
Highlight Installation and press .
