Digital Channel selection delay
Due to the tuning complexity of subchannel digital
programming, the time to select and view a digital
channel may take slightly longer than what the viewer
is normally accustomed to (as compared to analog
channel programs).
Digital channel broadcasts contain program and
system data information that must be processed
before the channel selection can be displayed.
Channel tuning
Available
channels:
- Cable (analog NTSC or digital QAM): max. from 1 to 135
- Antenna (analog NTSC or digital ATSC): max. from 2 to 69
If a tuned channel is not yet in the master channel map, the TV will attempt
to tune the channel and it will be added to the map.
If the channel is not acquired, a message will appear that the channel is not
available.
When you tune an audio-only digital subchannel, a display appears with the
message
Audio only
.
Subchannel selections
The new standards employed with digital broadcasting make it possible to receive
multiple program channels under a single major channel number which can be
selected by pressing the digit remote control direct-access channel number entry.
Tip
:
After the installation of the TV channels has been done, always make a selection
in the Installation menu between Antenna or Cable whether you want to watch
Antenna TV channels or Cable TV channels.
If you make use of a signal splitter do not forget to put the switch in the
corresponding position.

it manually. Call your local broadcasting station to check what channel is
being transmitted to.
é Select that channel in the displayed list of TV channels (in the antenna mode).
“ The signal strength is displayed and updated continuously as you rotate the
antenna.
