Channel Search
Engaging in a channel search tells the TV to search for all the TV channels available through the Antenna and Cable 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.
To do a full channel search, check each box that pertains to your TV. For example, if you’re only receiving cable from the CABLE INPUT, highlight Cable Input and press OK to place a check mark in the box. Select Start to begin the
Tip
You can still add a channel that was not found by Channel Search. Clear any
setup.
Notes: Channel Search with all options selected takes some time to complete because all possible analog and digital channels are being searched.
If a cable box is connected to your TV’s CABLE INPUT or the CableCARD slot is in use, don’t check the Cable Input box.

Advanced Settings
The Advanced Settings menu lets you set up channel and input features, and get more information about your TV. Items in the Advanced Settings menu are: Auto Tuning, Startup Channel, Diagnostic Info, CableCARD Tools, and CableCARD Reset.
Auto Tuning Lets you specify the various devices you have connected to your TV. It lets you program a device button on the remote control (VCR, AUX, DVD, SAT•CABLE, or AUDIO) so that pressing the button automati- cally turns on the TV and turns the TV to the correct Video Input Channel (go to Chapter 3 for detailed information).
Notes: The AUX•HD button by default is set up for an RCA HDTV Tuner receiver.
If you have two RCA satellite receivers, you can control each separately. Program the second receiver with the AUX•HD button using the 5001 code. Then use the RCA SAT2 option in the auto tuning menu to set auto tuning.
Startup Channel You can select the tuner and channel or input that your TV tunes to each time the TV is turned on by plugging it back in.
Diagnostic Info Displays channel and cable information for TV and cable service personnel.
CableCARD Tools Displays information available for digital cable TV services when a digital cable card is inserted into the back of the TV and you have subscribed to digital cable service. Go to page 16 for more information on using a digital cable card.
The CableCARD Tools information might vary according to the brand of card you have inserted into your TV. The graphic to the left is an example of what you might see. Select an option to view more information.
