4. Even though the initial channel search can take several minutes,
you must complete it in order for your TV to display channels and
programming. Press OK to begin the channel search. The menu
shows the TV is running a channel search. When it's complete, the
Channel setup menu remains on-screen. To exit the menu system,
press CLEAR.
Some channels might have been found during the channel search
that are unavailable to view and you might want to get rid of these
so they don't appear as you change channels. To do this press OK
(the List and Labels menu appears). Note that removing channels
from your channel list may be time consuming, so you might want
to do it later. Go to page 30 for details on editing your
channel list.
What To Expect
Watching TV
• Remember: If you have an analog signal connected to your
ANTENNA/CABLE ANALOG INPUT, then view analog channels
on your Analog Input. Look for an A at the bottom of the screen.
Press the ANTENNA button if the A isn't appearing.
Analog channels are sent in a 4:3 format, which cannot fi ll a 16:9
screen like your TV so you'll see black bars on each side of the
TV program. Press the ZOOM buttons to choose a format that may
eliminate the black bars.

• Remember: If you have a digital signal connected to your
ANTENNA/CABLE DIGITAL INPUT, then view digital channels on
your Digital Input. Look for a D at the bottom of the screen. Press
the ANTENNA button if the D isn't appearing.
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. If the TV program has black bars on each side,
unfortunately you can't get rid of them.
Changing Channels
• Digital channels can have both primary channels (like the analog
channel number) and sub-channels. First tune to the Digital Input
by pressing the ANTENNA button and look for a D at the bottom
of the screen. To tune to a digital channel with a sub-channel,
enter the primary channel number, then press the right arrow
button. Enter the sub-channel number and press OK.
• Depending upon the type of signals you have connected to your
HDTV, you might notice that the channels change slower than
you’re used to. This is perfectly normal. Digital cable channels
sometimes take longer to tune.
If you connected both cables to the ANALOG
and DIGITAL INPUTS, the TV runs 2 separate
channel searches.
