For ease of use, all DVB-C settings are set to automatic.

If your DVB-C provider gave you specific DVB-C values, the network ID or network frequency, enter these values when the TV asks for them during installation.

It might be necessary to adjust the scanning (full or quick scan) or enter a specific symbol rate in the Settings menu while installing. To set a Symbol rate, first set the Symbol rate to Manual.

Channel number conflicts

In some countries, different TV channels (broadcasters) might have the same channel number. While installing, the TV shows the list with channel number conflicts. You need to select which TV channel you want to install on a channel number with multiple TV channels.

DVB-T + DVB-C

If you can use a DVB-T antenna input but also a DVB-C input, you can set up your TV for both DVB-T and DVB-C. Install one system followed by the other with the necessary settings. Once each system is installed, you need to switch the antenna input signal on the Antenna connection on the back of the TV and set the TV in the appropriate system to view the installed channels on TV.

To select the DVB-T or DVB-C setting, see above.
