Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What’s the quickest way to view High Defi nition (HD) video?
Connect an off-air antenna to the ANTENNA CABLE/DIGITAL INPUT to view free local digital
channels. You might need to purchase an antenna. Go to page 6 for more information.
Visit www.antennaweb.org to get help deciding what type of antenna to use to receive the 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.
Are there other ways to view High Defi nition (HD) video?
Besides using an off-air antenna as mentioned above, you can also use a set-top box to receive
digital video. Contact your cable company to purchase digital cable and have them connect the
box for you to ensure you're viewing channels the best way.
How do I tell an analog channel from a digital channel?
Press the INFO button to display the channel banner. Look at the bottom left corner of the
screen. An A is displayed for an analog channel. A D is displayed for a digital channel.
Why are there bars on my screen and can I get rid of them?
Most digital video is sent in a 16/9 format which does fi ll your screen, but sometimes is sent
in 4/3 which does not fi ll your screen. It depends on how the station or device connected to
your TV is formatting the video. If there are bars on-screen, press the ZOOM +/- button to try
a different format that may eliminate the bars. The format changes as you press the ZOOM
buttons and the format type is displayed at the bottom of the screen. For more information on
screen formats, go to page 25.
Why does channel search fi nd a lot of channels, but when I try to tune to them there’s
nothing there?
Some channels are enabled by the cable company that don’t carry programming, such as video-
on-demand. When channels are unavailable, your TV’s screen is blank or appears like snow.
You probably want to get rid of these so they no longer appear in your channel list. Remove
these in the Channel List menu. Go to page 30 for more information.
Why does the fi rst channel search take a long time?
If you’ve connected a signal to both ANALOG and DIGITAL INPUTS, the TV is looking for all
available channels in the channel list. If you do have digital channels, the TV is also searching
for each sub-channel of that digital channel.
