--Deleting Channels from the Scan List
You may want to have only a few favorite channels in the scan list so you can select them more quickly with the CHANNEL • and • buttons. (Use the numbered buttons on the remote control to select channels you deleted from the scan list.) Occasionally Automatic Programming may include a vacant channel in the scan list if there happened to be some sort of "noise" or "stray signal" on the chan- nel when the tuner was programmed. This procedure explains how to delete any unwanted channels from the scan list.
1.Use the CHANNEL • or • button to select the chan- nel that you want to remove from the scan list.
2.Press SELECT LOCK. The channel number will begin flashing.
3.Press ERASE. The sound will go off, which tells you that the channel number has been deleted from the scan list.
4.Press SELECT LOCK again to return the tuner to
normal operation. The tuner will immediately skip to the next channel in the scan list and the number will not flash.
5.Repeat the procedure for each channel you want to delete from the scan list.
Notes:
•Channel numbers flash when the SELECT/LOCK
switch is in SELECT, and the CHANNEL •/• buttons will select every channel, whether or not it is in the scan list.
•Channel humbers do not flash when the SELECT/
LOCKswitch is in LOCK, and the CHANNEL •/• but- tons will select only those channels that are in the scan list.
-Adding Channels to the Scan List
You may have deleted a channel from the scan list and went to put it back. Occasionally Automatic Programming may "miss" an active channel because the signal is very weak or because the channel happened to be "off the air" when the tuner was programmed. Use this procedure to put any channel in the scan list.
1, Press SELECT LOCK.
2.Use the CHANNEL or digit
list. There will be picture but no sound at this time, and the channel number will flash.
3, Press ADD. The sound will come on to tell you the channel has been added to the scan list.
4.Press SELECT LOCK. The channel number will stop flashing to tell you the tuner is in its normal operating mode.
