Quick Setup
Tuner Setup
– Front-panel Quick Setup
RGB or Component out
Click the SETUP button, use Up or Down to HD Output menu, use
Left or Right to choose input, press SELECT to choose.

Go to the next menu and select CATV, Air, IRC, HRC, or CATV Auto.
Press SELECT to choose. IRC has the same channel map as
standard CATV, except for 5 and 6. The HRC channel map uses
completely different frequencies than the others. CABLE AUTO looks
at the first few channels to determine the right format. If there are
no channels between 2 and 6, you many have to set the tuning
mode manually.
Select Scan Mode
Page down a number of menus to the Scan Mode menu. The left or
Right keys will select several options
Analog+Digital (standard full scan)
Digital – Delete Analog (scan for digital, delete any analog
channels)
Digital – Keep Analog (scan for digital, but keep all analog channels)
Analog – Delete Digital (scan for analog, delete any digital
channels)
Analog – Keep Digital (scan for analog, but keep all digital channels)
Once you do the next step, scan from the front-panel menu, the
tuner will always scan this way from the panel or on-screen menu –
until you change the mode later on.
Channel Scan
The next menu starts the Channel Scan, just press SELECT to start
scanning. You can watch the scan progress from a pop-up window
on the video outputs from the tuner. You can watch the scan
process if the output of the tuner is fed to a display. A Cable
analog/digital scan will take 7 minutes, only digital 6 minutes (the
analog scan is faster).
