Because an HDMI output carries the audio signal on the same cable as the video, no setup is needed. However, if you connect a DVI output to the TV's HDMI input, you need to connect the separate DVI audio to one of the TV's audio inputs and select that input in this screen. The TV will use that audio input for sound when it displays a DVI signal.

Press ￿ or ￿ to point to an option, then press OK to select it. Press ￿to return to the menu.

DVI Audio Input Allows you to select the audio input you’re using if you’ve connected an HDMI/DVI cable adapter to the DVI input. Select from the inputs listed.

Signal Strength

This screen lists any channel EVER added to the TV. The list shows the channel number, the station name (only when tuned, e.g. NBC), whether the channel is digital or analog, which tuner is picking up the channel, and current signal strength of digital channels.

When you move the highlight to the Signal Strength list, the TV attempts to tune to that channel. You can then adjust your off-air antenna for maximum signal strength (largest number) for the selected channel. The signal strength for a digital channel will be shown as “- -” until the signal is strong enough for use, then numbers will appear. Analog channels will always have the display, “N/A”, since analog signal strength is not measured.

Only primary channels appear in the list. Digital subchannels, e.g. 8-1, 8-2, do not appear.

Note: If you have both Antenna and Cable channels, press the ANT•CAB button to view your Cable channels, or vice-versa.
