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 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.
The Channel Search screen lets you choose a Full Search or a Quick Search.
Full Search Searches both Antenna A and B, automatically detects whether
you are using cable or an off-air antenna.
Note: A Full Search can take several minutes.
Quick Search Searches only for channels on the antenna you’re currently
using and uses the current Air or Cable setting. For optimum reception, you
need to conduct a Quick Search after you’ve adjusted a terrestrial antenna
because the TV might pick up new channels.
Notes: Channel Search takes a long time to complete because all possible
analog and digital channels are being searched.
If a cable box is connected to Antenna A and GUIDE Plus+ setup was
informed, a channel search will not be permitted.
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.
Signal Source
The Signal Source menu allows you to choose the source from which you
would like the signal to come: Antenna A, Antenna B, or Video Inputs. The
same can be accomplished using the component buttons if you’ve set up Auto
Tuning on the remote or the INPUT button. But, if you misplace the remote, this
feature gives you another way to tune to a signal source.
Signal Type
The Signal Type screen lets you choose whether you are receiving a signal from
cable TV or an off-air antenna for Ant A or Ant B. When you run Channel
Search, the TV automatically detects your signal and you don’t have to specify it
here. However, if you decide to change the source, you can use the Signal Type
screen. Changing the source on Antenna A may mean that you will have to
make changes to your GUIDE Plus+ setup settings.
