Checking the Digital-Signal Reception

Unlike analog channels, which can vary in reception quality from “snowy” to clear, digital

(HDTV) channels have either perfect reception quality or you will not receive them at all.

So, unlike analog channels, you cannot fine tune a digital channel. But you can adjust

your antenna to improve the reception of available digital channels.

1Press the MENU button on the remote control.

2Use the Menu Up/Down

buttons to highlight the

Channel icon and

press ENTER.

Use the Menu Up/Down

buttons to highlight the

Channel Signal Strength

icon and press ENTER.

3If the signal strength meter

indicates that the signal is

weak, physically adjust your

antenna to increase the signal

strength. Continue to adjust

the antenna until you find the

best position with the strongest signal.

4When you have finished adjusting your antenna, press EXIT.

NOTE

“No Signal” may appear on the screen depending on the broadcast station conditions,

even if an incoming broadcast signal exists.
