T
he Antenna Menu options are available for use with analog
and digital channels on Antenna-1 and Antenna-2. You
can memorize channels, add or delete channels, name
channels and add channels to an SQV (Super Quick
View™) bank.
Memorize
For Antenna 1 (Main) or Antenna 2 (Aux)
Select either Air (when used with an indoor/outdoor
antenna) or Cable (when used with direct cable)
then press ENTER to start the automatic channel
memorization process. If a CableCARD™ is being used,
memorized channels are provided by your cable provider
through the CableCARD.
To stop the automatic channel memorization process,
press CANCEL. Channels memorized before you
pressed CANCEL are retained in memory.
After memorizing channels, the channels in the memory
can be accessed in ascending or descending order by
pressing CH or .
The memorization will occur twice, as the media center
memorizes analog and digital channels separately.
Prefer Digital
When a memorized channel is available as both analog
and digital, a check mark in the Prefer Digital box will
allow digital channels to display and analog channels to
be hidden (when using CH). Removing the checkmark
will show both analog and digital choices. This function
is unavailable (grayed out) when TV Guide On Screen®
has been set up
Channel
Channels can be changed in 3 ways:
1. By pressing ADJUST or to select the channel.
2. By pressing CH or for channels already in
memory.
3. Directly entering the number. With so many current
and potential channels, the number range is greatly
expanded. Channels can be one part, analog or
digital (up to the number 16383) or two part, for digital
channels (these use a separator). For a two part
digital channel, you may press SUB/CANCEL on the
remote to enter a separator after the first, second or
third number, depending on the broadcaster’s channel
information.
For digital channels, when the broadcaster has sent a
virtual channel number, the virtual channel number is
shown in the text box and as a reference, the original
digital channel is shown below the text box.
Memory
After the available channels have been memorized with
Memorize, weaker channels can be added. Unwanted
channels can also be deleted. Press CH or on the
remote control to see the channels in memory. Press
ADJUST or to select Added or Deleted for the
channel shown in the Channel number box.
Name
Analog channels shown on Antenna-1 or Antenna-2 can
be named (up to four characters). After you enter a
name, it will appear on the TV screen, next to the channel
number.
1. Press ADJUST or to select each letter.
2. Press ENTER to set the letter and move to the
next letter position.
3. Press CANCEL to move back one position.
Digital channels are automatically named if the
broadcaster sends the information.
