The tuner launches the auto search for channels. This
allows your tuner to program all of the broadcast
channels you receive into its channel memory. This
step could take up to 30 minutes. The Progress bar
shows how much of the search has been completed.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have your antenna
connected to the tuner and pointed toward where
your broadcasts are coming from.
Once the tuner has completed the auto search, press
OK on the remote to see a list of the channels it found.
You can add individual channels later by using the
Manual Search or Auto Scan Add Channels (see page
23 for information—this does not delete current channel
list). You might need to do this if your broadcast
channels come from several different directions.
You can also mark some of the channels in the list as
your favorites using the Favorite Channels menu (see
page 21 for information).
