Antenna Info

The Antenna Info menu helps you determine what terrestrial TV channels are available. This menu is useful for checking the strength of digital channels, obtaining all channels possible, and adjusting the direction of any terrestrial TV antennas connected to ANTENNA A and ANTENNA B jacks on the back of your TV.

•Press MENU to bring up the main menu, select Assistance, then Antenna Info.

The Antenna Info screen reports the status of the signal search and lists channels that are being received or have been found from terrestrial antennas. To switch between antennas, highlight a channel and then press ANT on the remote control.

When getting antenna information, the screen lists:

•the channel number

•the station name, if it has been sent from broadcaster and you set Off-Air Guides to Acquire Off-Air Guides.

•whether the channel is digital or analog

•which antenna is receiving the signal

•if it’s a digital channel, the current signal strength (the higher the number, the better protection you’ll have against signal dropouts).
