Changing Between DIRECTV and TV Mode
When you press the number buttons on your remote control to change channels,
your TV tunes to programming from one of 4 sources:
• the DIRECTV satellite (if you have DIRECTV service) — DIRECTV mode
• a terrestrial off-air antenna — TV mode
• cable TV — TV mode
• video input channel (external components connected to the TV’s Input Jacks)
— TV mode (explained on page 74)
You tune to one of these sources by pressing either TV or DIRECTV on the remote
control; then you can enter the channel numbers (explained in detail on the next
page).
In TV mode, you tune to channels that carry the terrestrial off-air or cable TV
signal.
• To tune to an analog channel, enter channel numbers that are up to three digits
long. Press OK to tune.
• To tune to a digital channel, enter channel numbers that are one, two, or three
digits long. If necessary, press the right arrow and enter a subchannel number.
These subchannel numbers appear in the box to the right of the primary
channel number. Press OK to tune.
