Any channel already found will be stored. Complete the Initial Setup The menu system in your TV allows all of the TV's features to work properly. The first time you turn on your TV, the language screen appears. Set the Menu Language The first step of the setup requires you to select your preferred language for the menu system. If English is your preferred language, press OK and proceed to set the TV Location Mode. To choose another language, press the down arrow until that language is highlighted, and select it by pressing the OK button. Set the TV Location Mode After choosing the language, a menu screen asks you to set the TV Location. Choosing "Home" for the TV Location assigns the optimal picture settings for most home environments. This is also the most energy-efficient setting. Press OK to display the Channel Setup menu. Complete Channel Setup Make sure you've connected the TV to the cable or an off-air signal before you start the next part of the setup. Set the Signal Type From the Channel menu, select Auto Channel Search. Press the up or down arrow to highlight Signal Type. If you have connected the cable to your ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT jack, the option is chosen for you. Simply press the down arrow to continue. To choose Antenna, press the right arrow and then press the down arrow to continue. Complete the Channel Search With Channel Search highlighted, press OK to begin the channel search. If you chose Cable as your signal type, the search takes a while because it is looking for both analog and digital channels. Then, it removes scrambled channels. The Channel Search process includes the following steps: 1. The search first seeks analog channels and places the number of channels found next to Analog Channels Found. 2. The search then looks for digital channels and places the number of channels found next to Digital Channels Found. This number may seem high. This is because the number includes both scrambled (for example, Pay Per View) and non-scrambled channels. These channels are dependent upon what your cable company is sending. 3. The search might appear as if it is complete, but as long as the search says Running, it is still in progress. The TV is now removing scrambled channels from the channel list. 4. When Auto Channel Search is in progress, you can press the CANCEL button to cancel the search. Any channels already found will be stored. 5. When the search is complete, press CANCEL to exit the menu system. You may find there are still some channels in your list that are unavailable to view. To delete these channels, press MENU and choose Channel. Highlight and select List and Labels. Note: Removing channels from your channel list may be time-consuming, so you may want to do it later.
