Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQs)
Why does my TV take so long to turn on?
Quick Startup is a power-saving feature in your TV. Select either enable or disable, which ever option is best for you. Enabling Quick
Startup allows you to turn on the TV faster than if disabled. If a CableCARD is in use, Quick Startup is always enabled and cannot be
changed. Keep in mind, if you disable Quick Startup it adds approximately 30 seconds to your TV’s turn on time.
What’s the quickest way to view High Defi nition (HD) video?
Connect an off-air antenna to the ANTENNA INPUT to view free local digital channels. You might need to purchase an antenna. Go
to page 9 for more information.
How do I tell an analog channel from a digital channel?
There are several different ways to tell if your channel is digital or not. Press the INFO button to display the channel banner. Look
at the left corner for a channel information. Channels displaying a D, primary channel, and a subchannel is a digital channel (not all
digital channels have subchannels). Channels displaying an A, are analog. Go to page 39 for more information.
Why does channel search fi nd a lot of channels, but when I try to tune to them there’s nothing there?
Some channels are enabled by the cable company that don’t carry programming, such as video-on-demand. When channels are
unavailable, your TV’s screen displays Weak or No Signal. You probably want to get rid of these so they no longer appear in your
channel list. Remove these in the Channel Setup menu. Go to page 56 for more information.
Why does the fi rst channel search take a long time?
If you’ve checked each box in the channel search menu, the TV is looking for all available channels in the channel list. If you do have
digital channels, the TV is also searching for each subchannel of that digital channel.
How do I control other devices I’ve connected to the TV?
Because your TV came with a universal remote, you can program your remote to the button corresponding with the device you have
connected to your TV. Go to page 30 for information on programming your remote.
Why do I have sound, but no picture when I turn on my TV?
There is a lamp inside the TV which needs approximately one minute to reach full brightness. You’ll hear audio during this time and
the picture increasingly gets brighter as the lamp warms up.
Why are there bars on my screen and can I get rid of them?
Analog channels are sent in a 4 x 3 format, which cannot fi ll a 16 x 9 screen like your TV. Most digital channels are sent in a 16 x 9
format which do fi ll your screen, but sometimes are sent in 4 x 3. It depends on how the station or device connected to your TV is
formatting the video. Press the FORMAT button to see the different formats available that may eliminate the bars. Go to page 51 for
more information on screen format.
