What You Need to Know

•Visit www.antennaweb.org to get help deciding what type of antenna to use to receive the off-air local digital channels available to you. By entering where you live, this mapping program tells you what local analog and digital stations are available using a certain antenna.

•When you get to the Auto Channel Search screen in the Setup menu, choose Antenna as your source type. The TV seaches for both analog and digital channels. To complete a channel search now, go to page 8.

•When you are ready to watch digital channels, make sure you are tuned to a digital channel. Digital stations typically have a dash in them because they may contain subchannels, for example, 8-3.

When you are ready to watch an analog channel, make sure you are tuned to an analog channel. Analog stations contain no more than three digits. Refer to page 8 for information on analog and digital stations.

When using the antenna input, use the ATV/DTV selection in the Setup menu to toggle between digital and analog channels. Refer to page 8..
