Chapter 6 The Menu System

Running Channel Search collects all available TV channels in a channel list.

Video Input 1 (or 2 or 3) Select this if your component is connected to the Video INPUT1 (or 2 or 3) jack on the back of the TV and you want the TV to tune to the video input channel VID1 (or VID2 or VID3) when you press the button. If you have an S-Video cable connected, the input channel might appear as S-VID1 (or S-VID2 or S-VID3).

Cmpnt Video (Component Video Input) Select this if your DVD Player is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks on the back of the TV and you want the TV to tune to the input channel CMPNT when you press the DVD button.

3.Now you can use the component buttons (VCR1, VCR2, or DVD) on the remote control to tune to the correct input channel when you press the button.

For example, if you’ve programmed your remote control and completed the above steps to auto tune, you can press the VCR1 button and the TV will turn on and tune to the correct channel automatically. Since the remote is in VCR mode (you pressed the VCR1 button), you can use the REVERSE, PLAY, FORWARD, RECORD, STOP, and PAUSE buttons to operate your VCR.

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.

Full Search: searches both Antenna A and B, automatically detects whether you are using cable or an off-air antenna.

Note: a Full Search can take up to 30 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.

Tips:

You can also edit the TV channel list and remove unwanted channels by using the Profiles menu.

Another way to add TV channels is to directly tune to them using the digit buttons on the remote control. If the system can obtain that channel’s signal, it will be added to the channel list.
