AUTO TUNING
This menu displays the various components you have connected to your TV. It lets you
set up the TV to automatically tune to the correct input channel when you press a
component button (VCR1, VCR2, or DVD) on the remote control.
1. Use the arrow keys on the remote control to highlight the field corresponding with
a component.
Selecting any of the fields on this screen enables you to specify which input or
channel the component will use.
2. Press the OK button on the remote control to choose which input channel you want
to tune to when you press that component button. The choices for each component
are:
Not Connected Select this if you don’t have that component connected to the
antenna or video input jack on the back of the TV or if you don’t want the TV to
tune to a channel when the particular component button is pressed.
Ch 2 (or 3 or 4) - Ant A Select this if your component is connected to Antenna A
on the back of the TV and you want the TV to tune to channel 2 (or 3 or 4) when
you press the component button.
Ch 2 (or 3 or 4) - Ant B Select this if your component uses Antenna B on the
back of the TV and you want the TV to tune to channel 2 (or 3 or 4) when you press
the component button.
Video INPUT 1 (or 2 or 3) Select this if your component is connected to the
Video INPUT 1 (or 2 or 3) jack on the back of the TV and you want the TV to tune
to the input channel VID1 (or VID2 or VID3) when you press the button. If you have
an S-Video cable connected, the input channel will read S-VID1 (or S-VID2).
3. Now you can use the component buttons (VCR1, VCR2, or DVD) on the remote
control to tune to the correct input channel when you press the button.
If you have programmed your remote control and completed the above steps to auto
tune, you can—for example—press the VCR button and both tune to the VCR’s input
channel and enter into “VCR mode.” You can then begin using the REVERSE, PLAY,
FORWARD, REC, STOP, and PAUSE buttons to control your VCR.
Reminder: Make sure
the Ch 2/3/4 switch on
the back of the
component is set to the
channel you specify in
the Auto Tuning screen.
