Editing Channels in the Channel Lists

Channels can be edited through the Favorite Ch. List and Children’s Ch. List in the Cable and Antenna Channel List menus. Use the Favorite Ch. List to remove a channel if you no longer want it in your channel list because you don’t like a program, for example. Remove or “hide” a channel by removing the check mark in the box. In the example to the left, channel 4 is removed from the Cable Channel List. If you decide later you want to view channel 4, access it using the number 4 button on the remote.

Antenna Channel List menu.

Use the Children’s Ch. List to block a channel in your channel list if you don’t want children to view the channel. Remove or “hide” a channel by removing the check mark in the box. In the example to the left, channel 8-2 is removed from the Children’s Ch. List. When the TV is locked, access the channel directly by using the number buttons on the remote control then enter your valid password to view the channel.

To save time, you can also add ALL or delete ALL channels in a list by changing the box or choice field in the line that says All Video Inputs or All Channels but be very careful because you could erase all of your selections.

Note: If a cable box is connected to the CABLE INPUT, the channel list can be edited for Cable Channel in the Cable Channel List menu. If a cable box is connected via INPUT1, the channel list cannot be edited.
