What's the most convenient way to view High
Definition (HD) video?
Connect an antenna to the TV Input jack to view free local digital
channels. You may need to purchase an antenna. (See page 4 for
more information about antenna setup).
Visit www.antennaweb.org for assistance in deciding what type of
antenna to use to receive the local digital channels available to you.
After entering your location, this mapping program tells you which local
analog and digital stations are available using a certain antenna.
Are there other ways to view High Definition
(HD) video?
Besides using an antenna as mentioned above, you can also use a
eat-top box to receive digital video. Contact your cable service provider
or satellite provider to purchase digital programming and have them
connect the box to ensure you are viewing channels in the best way.
How do I tell ananalog channel from a digital
channel?
Press the DISPLAY button to display the Channel Bar. Look at the top
right corner of the screen. An "A" is displayed for an analog channel.
A "D" isdisplayed for a digital channel.
Note: Since the analog TV in America has been cut off, we reserve
analog TV function only for some unexpected use.

Why are there bars on my screen, and can I get
rid of them?
Most digital video is sent ina 16/9 format which fills your screen, but is
sometimes sent in 4/3 which does not fill your screen. Itdepends on
how the station or device connected to your TV is formatting the video.
Ifthere are bars on the screen,
press the ASPECT button to try a different format that may eliminate
the bars. Some bars can't be removed because of the way the format
is sent by the broadcaster. The format changes as you press the
ASPECT button and the format type is displayed at the bottom of the
screen. For more information on screen size, go to page 8.
Why does channel search find a lot of channels,
but when I try to tune to them, there's nothing
there?
Some channels don't carry programming, such as video On Demand.
When channels are unavailable, your TV screen is blank or appears like
snow. You probably want to remove these channels from your channel
list. Remove these inthe Channel List Menu. Go to page 8 for more
information.
Why does it take a long time when I search the
channels at first time?
Ifyou have both analog and digital channels, the TV is looking for all
available channels in thechannel list. Ifyou do have digital channels,
the TV isalso searching for scrambled channels, non-scrambled
channels, and each sub-channel of that digital channel.
