Front Input

Use this screen if you have misplaced your remote control and need a way to tune to a different antenna or to go to the video inputs. Use the arrows to highlight the rectangle then press OK or MENU-OK to scroll to the input you want.

You can select a source from the available signal sources. Press OK to continue.

Signal Source

The Signal Source menu allows you to choose the source from which you would like the signal to come: Cable Input, Antenna Input, or Video Inputs. The same can be accomplished using the component buttons if you’ve set up Auto Tuning on the remote or by pressing the INPUT button. But, if you misplace the remote, this feature gives you another way to tune to a signal source.

Auto Tuning

This menu lets you specify the various components you have connected to your TV. It lets you program a component button on the remote control (VCR, AUX•HD, DVD, SAT•CABLE, or AUDIO) so that pressing the button automatically turns on the TV and turns the TV to the correct Video Input Channel (go to Chapter 3 for detailed information).

Notes: The AUX•HD button by default is set up for an RCA HDTV Tuner receiver.

If you have two RCA satellite receivers, you can control each separately. Program the second receiver with the AUX•HD button using the 5001 code. Then use the RCA SAT2 option in the auto tuning menu to set auto tuning.

Initial Volume This feature works only if the Initial Channel feature is set to On. Select the volume level that you want when the TV is turned on.

CableCARD Tools Displays information available for digital cable TV services when a digital cable card is inserted into the back of the TV and you have subscribed to digital cable service. Go to page 10 for more information on using your digital cable card.

Use the arrow buttons on the remote to highlight the blue Continue link at the bottom of the page, for example, as the graphic to the left shows, and simply press the OK button on the remote to read more text. If more than one link appears, use the arrow buttons to highlight the one you want. To exit the screen, press CLEAR on the remote.
