Auto Channel Search	is	located	from	this	path	Main Menu/Setup/Auto Channel 
Search.	It	allows	the	TV	to	search	for	all	channels	available	through	your	
ANTENNA/CABLE	INPUT	jack.	This	is	sometimes	called	Auto	Programming.

Source Type (Cable or Antenna). The default is Cable.
2. With the Signal Source chosen, highlight Start Search and press OK. Auto
Channel	Search	runs	as	it	finds	all	the	available	channels.	(This	step	might	take	
10-15	minutes	depending	on	your	content	provider).	The	channel	search	finds	
both	analog	and	digital	channels.
3. Once the search is complete, your TV tunes to a channel.
Tuning to a Channel
Analog channels display in a rectangle with no sub-channel numbers.
Digital	channels	can	have	both	primary	channels	(like	the	analog	channel	number)	
and	subchannels.	Digital	channel	numbers	can	contain	up	to	six	numbers.	
Numbers	to	the	left	of	the	-	(dash)	are	the	main	channel	number;	numbers	to	the	
right	are	the	subchannel	numbers	for	stations	that	broadcast	more	than	one	signal.	
To	change	channels,	use	the	CH	+/-	buttons	on	the	front	of	the	TV	to	step	up	and	
down	through	the	channel	list.
Note: You may experience a delay of several seconds before digital 
channels appear. This is normal. Digital channels sometimes take longer to 
tune.
