Chapter 5: Using the TV’s features
Input labeling example:
The screen below left shows the default Input Selection
screen (with none of the inputs labeled as a specific device).
The screen below right is an example of how you could label
the inputs if you connected a DVD player to VIDEO 1, Cable
TV to VIDEO 2, a video recorder to ColorStream HD1, a DTV
set-top box to HDMI 1, and a satellite/DSS set-top box to
HDMI 2. Also note that the ColorStream HD2 input is labeled
“Hidden,” which means that input will be skipped over when
+ is pressed.
To clear the input labels:
1 Press Y and open the Preferences menu.
2 Highlight Input Labeling and press T.
3 Highlight Reset and press T.
