What You need to Know
• Visit www.antennaweb.org to get help deciding what type of antenna to use to receive
the	off-air	local	digital	channels	available	to	you.	By	entering	where	you	live,	this	
mapping	program	tells	you	what	local	analog	and	digital	stations	are	available	using	a	
certain	antenna.
• When you get to the Auto Channel Search screen in the Setup menu, choose Antenna as
your	source	type.	The	TV	seaches	for	both	analog	and	digital	channels.	To	complete	a	
channel	search	now,	go	to	page	8.	
• When you are ready to watch digital channels, make sure you are tuned to a digital
channel.	Digital	stations	typically	have	a	dash	in	them	because	they	may	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	8	for	
information	on	analog	and	digital	stations.
When	using	the	antenna	input,	use	the	ATV/DTV	selection	in	the	Setup	menu	to	toggle	
between	digital	and	analog	channels.	Refer	to	page	8..
