What You need to Know
• Visit www.antennaweb.org to get help deciding what type of antenna to use to receive
the off-air local digital channels available to you. By entering where you live, this
mapping program tells you what local analog and digital stations are available using a
certain antenna.
• When you get to the Auto Channel Search screen in the Setup menu, choose Antenna as
your source type. The TV seaches for both analog and digital channels. To complete a
channel search now, go to page 8.
• When you are ready to watch digital channels, make sure you are tuned to a digital
channel. Digital stations typically have a dash in them because they may contain
subchannels, for example, 8-3.
When you are ready to watch an analog channel, make sure you are tuned to an
analog channel. Analog stations contain no more than three digits. Refer to page 8 for
information on analog and digital stations.
When using the antenna input, use the ATV/DTV selection in the Setup menu to toggle
between digital and analog channels. Refer to page 8..
