Using the TV’s Menu System
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 INPUT button. But, if you misplace the
remote, this feature gives you another way to tune to a signal source.
Auto Tuning
This menu lets you specify the various components you have connected to your
TV. It lets you program a component button on the remote control (VCR, AUX,
DVD, SAT•CABLE, or AUDIO) so that pressing the button automatically turns
on the TV and turns the TV to the correct Video Input Channel (go to Chapter 3
for detailed information).
Notes: The AUX button by default is set up for an RCA HDTV Tuner
receiver.
If you have two RCA satellite receivers, you can control each separately.
Program the second receiver with the AUX button using the 5001 code.
Then use the RCA SAT2 option in the auto tuning menu to set auto
tuning.
Special Features
The special features options are mostly intended for commercial/retail use.
Initial Channel You can select the tuner and channel or input that your
TV tunes to each time the TV is turned on by plugging it back in.
Initial Volume This feature works only if the Initial Channel feature is
set to On. Select the volume level that you want when the TV is turned on.
Maximum Volume This feature is intended to stop the volume from
being turned up too loudly. Set the volume at the loudest level you would
want to hear.
