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.

	programming channels (see page 41).
•	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 (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.

• If you have a CableCARD™ inserted (page 12), channel

programming for ANT 1 is disabled because the CableCARD™

automatically loads the Cable channel list into the TV’s channel

memory.

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).
