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.

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

Connections Menu
The
Connections
menu specifies various ways to adjust the inputs to your
television. Items in the
Connections
menu are:
Signal Strength, Channel Search,
Signal Source, Video Input Setup, Auto Tuning,
and
Special Features.
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.
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.
