Programming channels into the
TV’s channel memory
Auto scan - digital only -
As new services are broadcast, it will be necessary to re-tune
the TV in order to view them.
Auto scan will completely re-tune the TV and can be used to
update the channel list. It is recommended that Auto scan is run
periodically to ensure that all new services are added. All
stored programmes and settings, including Timer entries,
favorites and locked programmes, will be lost.
1 Press M and Y or Z to select the SCAN menu.
2 Use V to select Auto Scan.
3 Press Q. If Password Status (- page 29) is
Enabled, Password menu will be displayed. Enter
your password using the number buttons or press 0000
(which is the default password).
4 The Select Location will appear. Current location will
be highlighted. Press V or U to select a state in which
you live.
5 Press Q, a confirmation screen will appear indicating
that All existing channels will be deleted.
Continue? select Yes.
6 Press Q to start Auto tuning.
The above sample display shows Auto Scan in progress.
The channel number is shown as “06-0007” etc., where
“06” is the physical channel number and “0007” is the
logical channel number (which is the 4-digit number you
enter when changing channels).
7 When the search is complete, the TV will automatically
tune to the lowest logical channel number.
Note:
After the Auto scan, the TV may have scanned identical
channels being broadcast from different transmitters. You can
verify this by previewing those channels in the Channel List
with identical logical numbers and check on their physical
channel numbers (- page 30). If you do find channels with
the same logical channel numbers but different physical
channel numbers, it is recommended that you skip these
duplicate channels and keep only one channel with the best
signal strength as indicated by the SNR indicator in the I-Plate
(- page 16) display.
Manual scan - digital only -
If there were any missing channel after Auto Scan, these
channels might be found by using Manual Scan described in
this section. Also, if you do not live in Australia, you must use
Manual Scan to scan those channels in your country.
1 From the SCAN menu, press V or U to select Manual
Scan, then press Q.
2 Enter password using the Number buttons or press 0000
(which is the default password), then Manual Scan will
appear.
3 Press V or U to select the item you wish to adjust. For
Australia, to adjust Frequency, you may refer to the
latest channel table from local dealer. And the
Bandwidth is 7MHz and Priority should be set to
HIGH. Then press V or U to select Start Scan and
press Q to start scanning.
4 If scanning was successful, Get Channel Success
appeared for 2 seconds. Repeat to scan other channels as
necessary.
5 If scanning was unsuccessful, Timeout Error appeared.
At this point you can rescan the signal or refer to the
Signal Level bar and Quality for aligning the direction
of the aerial to get the signal. Refer to your aerial installer
if problem persists.
Notes:
Signal level refers to the input Radio Frequency (RF) signal
strength as perceived by the TV. Note that too strong signal
may cause erroneous readings. If you use an aerial booster
and find that you still get a low signal level, your booster gain
may be set too high. In this case, adjust the gain
accordingly. You may also see the No Signal on the screen
when the signal level is low.
Quality refers to the quality of the received digital signal. A
high value of quality means that there are few errors in the
signal. In the same way, a low value of quality implies that
there are a large number of errors in the signal, which may
cause distortions in video and audio.
