Changing Channels
One advantage of digital television is the ability for a broadcaster to transmit more than one
program simultaneously on one channel. This is done by using major and minor channel
numbers such as 4-1 (major channel) and 4-2, 4-3 and 4-4 (minor or sub-channels.) With
digital television, a broadcaster on channel 4 (the major number) may provide their usual
programming on channel 4-1 but also provide other programs on channel 4-2, 4-3, 4-4, etc.
Note that some broadcasters only broadcast their usual programming on one channel such
as 4-1.
After scanning, switching between channels can be easily done like changing channels
on a regular television, but there are several ways to do it:
Use the Channel + (CH+) and Channel - (CH-) buttons on the remote control.
Use the number and dash (-) remote buttons to enter in the desired channel number.
Enter in the major number, then the “-“ button, then the minor number.
(e.g. Enter “1”, “3”, “-“, “2” to tune to channel 13-2.)

If the major channel is desired, it is only necessary to enter in the major channel number
(e.g. Entering “1”, “3” will tune to channel 13-1.)
NOTE: After entering channel numbers in you can press ENTER to go to the channel
immediately, or wait a few seconds to go there automatically.
Use the PREV button to switch to the last channel viewed.
