Any channels already found will be stored.

If you connected cables to the ANALOG and DIGITAL INPUTS, the TV runs 2 separate channel searches.

Complete the Channel Search

4.Even though the initial channel search can take several minutes, you must complete it in order for your TV to display channels and programming. Press OK to begin the channel search. The menu shows the TV is running a channel search. When it's complete, the Channel setup menu remains on-screen. To exit the menu system, press CLEAR.

Some channels might have been found during the channel search that are unavailable to view and you might want to get rid of these so they don't appear as you change channels. To do this press OK (the List and Labels menu appears). Note that removing channels from your channel list may be time consuming, so you might want to do it later. Go to page 30 for details on editing your

channel list.

What To Expect

Watching TV

Remember: If you have an analog signal connected to your ANTENNA/CABLE ANALOG INPUT, then look for an A at the bottom of the screen to make sure you're tuned to the Analog input. Press the ANTENNA button if the A isn't appearing.

Analog video is sent in a 4/3 format, which your TV displays these channels in a 16/9 format. Press the ZOOM+/- button to view the different formats available. Go to page 25 for more explanation of screen formats.

Remember: If you have a digital signal connected to your ANTENNA/CABLE DIGITAL INPUT, then look for a D at the bottom of the screen to make sure you're tuned to the Digital input. Press the ANTENNA button if the D isn't appearing.

Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format which does fill your screen, but sometimes is sent in 4/3 which does not fill your screen. It depends on how the station or source device is formatting the video. If there are bars on-screen, press the

ZOOM+/- button to try a different format that may eliminate the bars. Go to page 25 for more explanation of screen formats.

Changing Channels

Digital channels can have both primary channels (like the analog channel number) and sub-channels. First tune to the Digital Input by pressing the ANTENNA button and look for a D at the bottom of the screen. To tune to a digital channel with a sub-channel, enter the primary channel number, then press the right arrow button. Enter the sub-channel number and press OK.

Depending upon the type of signals you have connected to your HDTV, you might notice that the channels change slower than you’re used to. This is perfectly normal. Digital cable channels sometimes take longer to tune.
