Autotuning
The autotuning feature automatically tunes the TV to the correct channel/input for different components you have connected to your TV (like a VCR, DVD player, etc.) When you set up autotuning in the menu system you don’t have to remember to change your TV to the VID1 input, for example, when you want to watch a DVD on your DVD player.
