Using the TV’s Menu System
Channel Search
Engaging in a channel search tells the TV to search for all the terrestrial TV
channels available through the Antenna and Cable Inputs. When the TV finds an
active channel, it places it in the channel list. Inactive channels (weak stations
or channels with no signal at all) aren’t placed in the channel list.
To do a complete channel search, check each box that pertains to your TV. For
example, if you’re only receiving cable from the CABLE INPUT, highlight Cable
Input and press OK to place a checkmark in the box. Select Start to begin the
search.
Notes: Channel Search with all options selected takes a long time to
complete because all possible analog and digital channels are being
searched.
If a cable box is connected to your TV’s CABLE INPUT or a CableCARD is
in use, Channel Search won’t work for Cable Input.
Software Upgrade
The Software Upgrade screen contains current software information and
indicates if a new upgrade is available. The software information and upgrades
can be accomplished only if you have the TV connected via the Ethernet cable
to the Internet with ISP subscription. Select the Upgrade Now button, if
available, to upgrade your software.
Note: If using a dialup service via a router connected at a dialup speed
of 56K, the Software Upgrade could take several hours or more. If the TV
is unplugged during a Software Upgrade, it could cause the TV to not
operate properly.
Signal Source
The Signal Source menu allows you to choose the source from which you
would like the signal to come: Cable Input, Antenna Input, or Video Inputs. The
same can be accomplished using the component buttons if you’ve set up Auto
Tuning on the remote or by pressing the ANT•CAB or INPUT button. But, if
you misplace the remote, this feature gives you another way to tune to a signal
source.

by Channel Search. Clear any on-screen
menus, and tune to it by using the number
buttons on the remote. If the channel can be
tuned, it will be added to the channel list for
that tuner.
