Choose the Signal Type
In order for your TV to search for channels, you need to make sure
your signal source is set correctly.

the CH. SETUP menu.
2. By default, the signal type is set to Cable. Leave the signal type set
to Cable if your TV is receiving its signal from cable. If your TV is
receiving its signal from an off-air antenna, press the right arrow

Complete Channel Search
To search for all channels viewable through your antenna or cable TV
system:
1. With Auto Search highlighted, press the OK button.
Note: Depending on the number of channels you receive, it
may take several minutes for the channel search to fi nish.
2. When the search is complete, you might want to change your
channel list. Go to Chapter 3 for instructions.
If you don’t want to change your channel list, the initial setup
is complete and you can press CLEAR to exit. The other setup
options are explained in Chapter 3.
What to Expect
You might notice as you change channels while using an HD receiver, the size on screen
appears different. Analog channels are sent in a 4:3 format, which can’t fi ll a 16:9 screen like
your TV. Most digital channels are sent in a 16:9 format which do fi ll your screen, but not
always. It depends on how the station is formatting the video. Press the FORMAT button on
your remote to see the different formats available.
