Channel Scan Memory
Channel scan memory is a list of active channels that you can scan

changes made to the Channel Memory Scan List.

(highlighted). The current channel number will appear. DTV
channels will show only the major channel number.

For example, Ch D35.
4. Press Enter to remove the channel.
5. To delete other channels, repeat steps 3 and 4 above.
Operational Tip:
Press the CH Map key on the remote to view a complete listing of
the active channels. “Deleted” channel numbers will be blue. (See
