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 programmed
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 in the channel memory.
Note:
• You must configure the antenna input source before
programming channels (- page 25).
• If the Antenna 1 input signal type is set to Cable, the
automatic channel programming process erases channels
that were previously programmed into the TV’s memory.
• If the Antenna 1 input signal type is set to Antenna, the
automatic channel programming process adds newly found
channels to the existing set of programmed channels (and
does NOT erase channels that were previously
programmed into the TV’s memory). To remove an antenna
source 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 when the antenna input is
configured for Cable will take substantially longer than when
the antenna input is configured for Antenna. This is normal;
however, once channel programming is finished, 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 the ANT 1 input is disabled because the CableCARD
™
automatically loads the Cable channel list into the TV’s
channel memory. See the Installation Guide for details on
CableCARD
™
.
To program channels automatically:
1 Configure the antenna input sources, if you have not
already done so. (
- page 25).
2 Press Y and open the Setup menu.
3 Highlight Installation and press T.
4 (A new set of Installation menu icons will appear, as
shown below.) 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 antenna
channels, 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 finished, press < or , to
view the programmed channels.
