Chapter 6: Setting up your TV

Programming channels into the TV’s channel memory

When you press CHANNEL y or z on the remote control or TV front panel, your TV will stop only on the channels stored in the TV’s channel memory.

Follow the steps below to program channels into the TV’s channel memory.

Programming channels automatically

Your TV can automatically detect all active channels in your area and store them in its memory. After the channels are programmed automatically, you can manually add or erase individual channels.

Note:

If you already programmed channels automatically during the Quick Connect Guide assisted setup, you can skip to “Manually adding and deleting channels in the channel memory” on the next page.

You must configure the antenna input sources before programming channels (see page 41).

The automatic channel programming process does NOT erase channels that were previously programmed into the TV’s memory, but adds newly found channels to the existing set of programmed channels. To remove a channel from the memory, you must manually delete it (see next page).

To tune the TV to a channel not programmed in the channel memory, you must use the Channel Number buttons on the remote control.

Programming channels for an antenna input configured for CABLE will take substantially longer than for an antenna input configured for ANTENNA. This is normal; however, once channel programming is completed, you should not have to repeat the programming process again unless your Cable TV service lineup changes significantly.

To program channels automatically:

1.Make sure you have configured the antenna input sources. See page 41 for details.

2.Press MENU and open the SETUP menu.

3.Highlight INSTALLATION and press ENTER. (A new set of INSTALLATION menu icons will appear on-screen, as shown in step 4).

6.When channel programming is done, press CHANNEL y or z to view the programmed channels.
