Channel Search

Engaging in a channel search tells the TV to search for all the terrestrial TV channels available through the Antenna and Cable Inputs.

If you have a connection to the TV's Ethernet jack, your TV may periodically alert you to the availability of a free TV-software upgrade which can be downloaded through the Ethernet jack.

From time to time, your cable company may use the Cable Input to automatically upgrade the digital-cable software in the TV. If the TV is on, you'll be notified when it occurs.

Status: A new TV-software upgrade is not available at this time. If one were available, you would be able to select a button

on this screen to acquire it.

You can view your current TV-software version and check if a new software version is available. Press4to continue.

Software Upgrade

The Software Upgrade screen contains current software information and indicates if a new upgrade is available. The software information and upgrades can be accomplished only if you have the TV connected via the Ethernet cable to the Internet with ISP subscription. Select the Upgrade Now button, if available, to upgrade your software.

Note: If using a dial-up service via a router connected at a dial-up speed of 56K, the Software Upgrade could take several hours or more. If the TV is unplugged during a Software Upgrade, it could cause the TV to not operate properly.
