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 ANT/CABLE input
source before programming channels
( page 24).
•
The automatic channel programming process
will erase channels that were previously
programmed into the TV’s memory.
•
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 ANT/
CABLE 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.
