About the Channel Banner
The Channel Banner appears when you press the TV or INFO button on the remote. If an icon in the channel banner is
grayed out (dim), the feature is not available. The following list describes the items on the Channel Banner screen (left to
right and top to bottom). Other displays that are not described here are self-explanatory.
Note: You may notice the size of the channel banner changes when you change channels. This is perfectly normal and
occurs because analog (NTSC) broadcasts and digital (ATSC) broadcasts use different formats. Your HDTV can display
both types and adjusts the picture accordingly.
