Notes:
• When you have locked TV channels while initiating autoprogram, a message appears asking to enter your PIN
code in order to complete autoprogramming.
• ATSC channel information is updated automatically when the TV is in standby (after 3 minutes and every 3
hours thereafter).
• When interrupted, the updated channel information is retained as well as the not yet updated old channel
information.
• Background autoprogramming occurs only when the TV is turned on.
• Channel information of an ATSC channel is updated only for the ATSC channel currently tuned.
• If an NTSC channel is tuned, then in Background Autoprogramming the TV shall scan all the possible ATSC
frequencies and update information.
• Weak channel installation
This allows you to manually tune weak ATSC channels in order to adjust the antenna and thus optimize signal
quality for that channel. (See below, Weak channel installation)
• Once you have searched for as well the available Antenna as well as the Cable TV channels, they are stored in
the memory.
Channel tuning
Available channels:
- Cable (analog NTSC or digital QAM): max. from 1 to 135
- Terrestrial (analog NTSC or digital ATSC): max. from 2 to 69
If a tuned channel is not yet in the master channel map, the TV will attempt to tune the channel and it
will be added to the map.
If the channel is not acquired, a message will appear that the channel is not available.
When you tune an audio-only digital subchannel, a display appears with the message Audio only .
Note: Subchannel selections
The new standards employed with digital broadcasting make it possible to receive multiple program channels
under a single major channel number which can be selected by pressing the digit remote control direct-acces
channel number entry.
Important :
After the installation of the TV channels has been done, always make a selection in the Installation menu
between Antenna or Cable whether you want to watch Antenna TV channels or Cable TV channels.
If you make use of a signal splitter do not forget to put the switch in the corresponding position.
Weak channel installation
This enables you to do a weak ATSC digital channel installation.This is only available for TV channels
installed via an antenna connection (see p. 6).
& Select a channel in the channel list (in the antenna mode).
é The signal strength is displayed and updated continuously as you rotate the antenna.
Note: Digital Channel selection delay
Due to the tuning complexity of subchannel digital programming, the time to select and view a digital
channel may take slightly longer than what the viewer is normally accustomed to (as compared to analog
channel programs).
Digital channel broadcasts contain program and system data information that must be processed before the
channel selection can be displayed.
