Memorizing the Channels
Your TV can memorize and store all of the available channels for both “off-air” (antenna) and
cable channels. After the available channels are memorized, use the CHand CHbuttons to
scan through the channels. This eliminates the need to change channels by entering the channel
digits. There are three steps for memorizing channels: selecting a broadcast source, memorizing
the channels (automatic) and adding/deleting channels (manual).
Selecting the Video Signal Source
Before your TV can begin memorizing the available channels, you
must specify the type of signal source that is connected to the TV
(i.e., an antenna or cable system).
Press the MENU button.
