Chapter 8: Using the TV’s features
Using the Channel Browser™
The channel browser stores the most recently viewed channels (up to 32) in the channel history. This feature allows you to:
• Keep a separate, temporary* history of the last 32 channels tuned from each of three inputs: ANT 1, ANT 2, and Cable Box.
*Note: Turning off the TV will clear the channel history for all three inputs.
• Quickly surf and tune your recently viewed channels from the channel browser banner (illustrated below).
• Surf via Browse mode (to immediately tune channels as you highlight them in the channel browser banner) or Select mode (to surf
over channels in the browser banner before you select one to tune).
• Set a “HOME” channel for the ANT 1, ANT 2, and Cable Box inputs.
