Setting Up Your TV
Watching TV...
Now you’re ready to watch TV! Your TV has two tuners: one for analog TV channels and one for off-air digital channels.
To see which tuner you’re on: look at the channel number that appears in the bottom left corner of your screen when you change channels—a ‘D’ appears next to the channel number on the digital tuner, while an ‘A’ appears next to the channel number on the analog tuner.
To switch between the tuners: press the ANT•CAB or ANTENNA button on your remote.
To tune directly to a regular channel: enter the channel number and press OK.
Digital channels can have both primary channels (like the analog channel number) and subchannels. These subchannels might offer programming that’s different from the primary channel.
NOTE: Not all digital channels offer subchannels.
To tune directly to a digital subchannel: make sure you’re on the digital tuner; then, enter the primary channel number,
press the right arrow button, enter the subchannel number, and press OK.
