Chapter 4: Setting up your TV
Programming channels into the
TV’s channel memory
When you press < or , on the remote control or TV control
panel, your TV will stop only on the channels you program into
the TV's channel memory.
Follow the steps below to program channels into the TV’s
channel memory.
Programming channels automatically
Your TV can automatically detect all active channels in your
area and store them in its memory. After the channels are
programmed automatically, you can manually add or erase
individual channels.
Notes:
• You must configure the antenna input sources before
programming channels (- page 16).
• If the input signal type is set to Cable for an antenna input,
the automatic channel programming process erases
channels that were previously programmed into the TV’s
memory.
• If the input signal type is set to Antenna, the automatic
channel programming process does NOT erase channels
that were previously programmed into the TV’s memory, but
adds newly found channels to the existing set of
programmed channels. To remove a channel from the
memory, you must manually delete it.
• To tune the TV to a channel not programmed in the channel
memory, you must use the Channel Number buttons on the
remote control.
• Programming channels for an antenna input configured for
Cable will take substantially longer than for an antenna input
configured for Antenna. This is normal; however, once
channel programming is completed, you should not have to
repeat the programming process again unless your Cable
TV service lineup changes significantly.
• If you have a CableCARD™ inserted, channel programming
for ANT 1 is disabled because the CableCARD™
automatically loads the Cable channel list into the TV’s
channel memory. See Installation Guide for details on
CableCARD™.
To program channels automatically:
1 Make sure you have configured the antenna input sources
(
- page 16).
2 Press Y and open the Setup menu.

Installation menu icons will appear on-screen, as shown

4 Open the Terrestrial menu, highlight Channel
Program, and press T.
5 Highlight ANT 1 or ANT 2, depending on which antenna
input you want to program channels for, and then press T
to start automatic channel programming.
The TV will automatically cycle through all the channels
for the antenna input you selected, and store all active
channels in the channel memory. While the TV is cycling
through the channels, the message “Scanning channels,
please wait” appears (as shown above).
6 To cancel channel programming, either press O or
highlight Abort in the on-screen display and press T.
When channel programming is done, press < or , to
view the programmed channels.
Manually adding and deleting channels in
the channel memory
After automatically programming channels into the channel
memory, you can manually add or delete individual channels.
To add or delete channels in the channel memory:
1 Press Y and open the Setup menu.
2 Highlight Installation and press T. (A new set of
Installation menu icons will appear on-screen, as shown
in step 3.)
