BASIC TV OPERATION
SELECTING CHANNELS
To select a channel, press CHANNEL s or t. The
tuner automatically advances to the next chan-
nel stored in the tuner’s memory.
Note: If you press CHANNEL s when the tuner is
at the highest programmed channel or CHAN-
NEL t when the tuner is at the lowest pro-
grammed channel, the Model 36 enters the
audio/video mode and
AUX appears (see “View-
ing an External Device” on Page 21). If you
press
CHANNEL s or t again, the Model 36 tunes
to the lowest or highest programmed channel.
You can also select channels directly using the
number keys on the remote control. You can
choose any channel in the tuner’s range, even if
you have not programmed the channel, there is
no broadcast present, or the channel is scram-
bled (the tuner does not unscramble the chan-
nel).
Notes:
• Precede a single-digit number with a 0 —
for example, 01 , 02 , and so on.
• If you selected the CATV input signal (see
“Selecting the Input Signal” on Page 17),
press
+100 on the remote control to enter
the first digit of a 3-digit channel number.
Then use the number keys to enter the sec-
ond and third digits.
