Signal Strength This screen lists any antenna channel EVER added to the TV. The list shows the channel number, the station name (only when tuned and available, e.g. NBC), whether the channel is digital or analog, which tuner is picking up the channel, and current signal strength of digital channels. When you move the highlight to the Signal Strength list, the TV attempts to tune to that channel. You can then adjust your off-air antenna for maximum signal strength (largest number) for the selected channel. The signal strength for a digital channel will be shown as "- -" until the signal is strong enough for use, then numbers will appear. Analog channels will always have the display, "N/A", since analog signal strength is not measured. Only primary channels appear in the list. Cable channels and digital subchannels, e.g. 8-1, 8-2, do not appear. Note: If you have an antenna connected to the Antenna and Cable Inputs, press the ANT•CAB button to view your channels on the Antenna Input, or vice-versa. 0 Go Back 1 Signal Strength 2 Channel Search 3 Signal Source 4 Auto Tuning 5 Special Features Main Menu4Connections Input to search: Cable Input Antenna Input Channel Search finds channels for you. Check fewer boxes to make the search faster (but less complete) and vice versa. Channels to search: Digital channels Analog channels Other search options: The first time that you do a Channel Search, put a check in all the boxes to do a thorough search for channels. Detect antenna or cable setting Include previously found channels in search To add a channel that Channel Search didn't find, clear all Start menus and directly tune to the channel with the number keys. Press OK to start a Channel Search using only the search features that are checked above. Tip You can still add a channel that was not found by Channel Search. Clear any on-screen menus, and tune to it by using the number buttons on the remote. If the channel can be tuned, it will be added to the channel list for that tuner. Channel Search Engaging in a channel search tells the TV to search for all the TV channels available through the Antenna and Cable inputs. When the TV finds an active channel, it places it in the channel list. Inactive channels (weak stations or channels with no signal at all) aren't placed in the channel list. To do a full channel search, check each box that pertains to your TV. For example, if you're only receiving cable from the CABLE INPUT, highlight Cable Input and press OK to place a check mark in the box. Select Start to begin the setup. Notes: Channel Search with all options selected takes some time to complete because all possible analog and digital channels are being searched. If a cable box is connected to your TV's CABLE INPUT or the CableCARD slot is in use, don't check the Cable Input box. 72 Chapter 4
