Using the Channel Menu
If you skipped the Setup Wizard, or if the initial setup
did not find all the available channels, use the Channel
menu to automatically scan and find the channels. The
scan continues until every channel is either found or
confirmed as having no signal.
You can also use this menu to edit the program channel
list to skip a channel when you use the Channel buttons
on the remote control or the TV.

The scan continues until every channel is either found
or confirmed as having no signal. You can stop the

and then pressing the OK or Back button on the remote
control.
