What You need to Know
• This television is equipped with a QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) tuner that
enables reception of unscrambled digital cable content. Check with your cable provider
for information about content availability in your area. Your TV also receives analog cable
TV channels.
• The Auto Channel Search screen in the Setup menu searches for both analog and digital
channels. Choose Cable as your source type. To complete a channel search now, go to
page 14.
• When you are ready to watch digital channels, make sure you are tuned to a digital
channel. Digital stations typically have a dash in their channel number because they can
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 14 for
information on analog and digital stations.
When using the input described above, press the ANTENNA
(DIG•ANA) button on the remote to toggle between digital and analog
channels. Refer to page 14.
Note: Another way to see if you’re tuned to a digital or analog
channel is to press the INFO button. This brings up the Channel
Banner screen, discussed on page 18.
