Digital and Analog Tuners

Your TV has two tuners: one for regular, analog TV channels and one for digital
channels. You can switch between the two by pressing the ANTENNA button on
your remote control when the remote is in TV mode.

Digital Channels

Digital channels can be made up of primary channels and subchannels.
Subchannels (sometimes called minor channels) are channels associated with the
Primary channel (sometimes called the major channel). A primary channel may
have just one subchannel or multiple subchannels.

Direct Tuning to a Channel on the Digital Tuner

1. Make sure the remote is in TV mode by pressing TV on the remote control.
2. Press ANTENNA until a "D" icon appears next to the channel number.
3. Enter the primary channel number. This number appears fi rst. Press OK or

wait a few seconds. If you don’t enter a subchannel, the TV tunes to the
lowest digital subchannel.

3. If the primary channel number has fewer than two digits, and you want

to enter subchannel numbers, press the right arrow button to enter the
subchannel.

4. Enter the number of the subchannel. This number appears to the right of the

primary channel number.

5. Press OK to tune to the channel or wait a few seconds and the TV tunes to

the channel.

Note: Once you've run the auto channel search on a tuner, you can just
use the channel up and down buttons on the remote control to change
channels when the remote's in TV mode.

Tip:

Look at the channel number to determine
whether you're on the digital or analog tuner.
A 'D' appears next to channel numbers on
the digital tuner, while an 'A' appears next to
channel numbers on the analog tuner.
