Channel Search
Engaging in a channel search tells the TV to search for all the terrestrial TV channels available through the antenna inputs. When the TV finds an active channel, it places it in the channel list. Inactive channels (weak stations or channels with no signal at all) aren’t placed in the channel list.
The Channel Search screen lets you choose a Full Search or a Quick Search.

Note: A Full Search can take several minutes.
Quick Search Searches only for channels on the antenna you’re currently using and uses the current Air or Cable setting. For optimum reception, you need to conduct a Quick Search after you’ve adjusted a terrestrial antenna because the TV might pick up new channels.
Notes: Channel Search takes a long time to complete because all possible analog and digital channels are being searched.
If a cable box is connected to Antenna A and GUIDE Plus+ Setup was performed, a channel search will not be permitted.
