Chapter 4: Setting up your TV

Programming channels into the TV’s channel memory

When you press <or ,on the remote control or TV control panel, your TV will stop only on the channels you program into 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.

Notes:

You must configure the antenna input sources before programming channels (- page 16).

If the input signal type is set to Cable for an antenna input, the automatic channel programming process erases channels that were previously programmed into the TV’s memory.

If the input signal type is set to Antenna, 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.

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.

If you have a CableCARD™ inserted, channel programming for ANT 1 is disabled because the CableCARD™ automatically loads the Cable channel list into the TV’s channel memory. See Installation Guide for details on CableCARD™.

To program channels automatically:

1 Make sure you have configured the antenna input sources (- page 16).

2 Press Yand open the Setup menu.

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