Chapter 8: Using the TV’s features

Tuning channels

Using the Channel Browserª

The Channel Browser stores the most recently viewed channels (up to 32) in the channel history. This feature allows you to:

Keep a separate, temporary* history of the last 32 channels tuned from each of three inputs: ANT 1, ANT 2, and Cable Box.

*Note: Turning off the TV will clear the channel history for all three inputs.

Quickly surf and tune your recently viewed channels from the Channel Browser banner (illustrated below).

Surf via Browse mode (to immediately tune channels as you highlight them in the Channel Browser banner) or Select mode (to surf over channels in the browser banner before you select one to tune).

Set a “HOME” channel for the ANT 1, ANT 2, and Cable Box inputs.

To open the Channel Browser banner: Press x (), • ( ), or ENTER on the remote control.

Press x () to surf back from the most recently viewed channel through the last 32 channels that were tuned from the current input, which are automatically stored in the channel history for the current input (ANT 1, ANT 2, or Cable Box only).

Press • ( ) to surf forward from the previous channels in the channel history up to the most recently viewed channel.
