Selecting the picture size

Chapter 6: Using the TV’s features

Switching between two channels using SurfLock™

The SurfLock™ feature temporarily “memorizes” one

channel to the button, so you can return to that channel quickly from any other channel by pressing

To memorize a channel to the button:

1無 Tune the TV to the channel you want to program into

the button.

2無 Press and hold for about 2 seconds until the message “Memorized” appears on-screen. The

channel has been programmed to the button. 3無 You can then change channels repeatedly, and when

you press , the memorized channel will be tuned.

The TV will return to the memorized channel one

time only. Once you press and then change channels again, the CH RTN memory will be cleared and the button will function as Channel Return,

by switching back and forth between the last two channels that are tuned. This feature also works for external inputs.

You can view many program formats in a variety of picture sizes — Full, TheaterWide 1/ 2/ 3, 4:3, Native, Normal, and Dot by Dot.

Note: The “picture size” illustrations are examples only. The format of the image (in any of the picture sizes) will vary depending on the format of the signal you are currently watching. Select the picture size that displays the current program the way that looks best to you.
