Quick Start , , Guide Watching TV Now that you’ve completed the setup, you’re ready to watch TV. Here are some things to be aware of: • To tune to a channel, enter the channel number and press OK or wait a few seconds for the channel to tune. Digital channels can have both primary channels (like the analog channel number) and subchannels, such as channel 6 as the primary channel number and 1 as the subchannel number. See Example 1 below. To tune to a digital channel with a subchannel, enter the primary channel number, then press the right arrow button. Enter the subchannel number and press OK. • If you have both analog and digital cable channels these will be put into the same channel list. As you change channels, a small channel banner appears which shows you the channel and sometimes the program you’re viewing. For a more detailed channel banner, press the INFO button. See Example 1 below. Go to the beginning of Chapter 3 of the User’s Guide to learn more about analog and digital channels. • To view channels you’re receiving off-air, press the ANT•CAB button on your remote to tune to the Antenna Input. Press the ANT•CAB button again to switch back to the Cable Input. See Example 2 below. • Depending upon the type of signals you have connected to your HDTV, you might notice the channels change slower than you’re used to. This is perfectly normal. Digital channels sometimes take longer to tune. • Analog channels are sent in a 4:3 format, which cannot fi ll a 16:9 screen like your TV. Most digital channels are sent in a 16:9 format which do fi ll your screen, but not always. It depends on how the station is formatting the video. Press the FORMAT button to see the different formats available that may eliminate the black bars. To return to the 4:3 format (Normal), keep pressing the FORMAT button until the bars re-appear. Viewing Devices If you’ve connected devices to your TV and you want to view the device: 1. Turn on the TV and the device you want to view. 2. Press the TV button on the remote control. 3. Press the INPUT button on the remote control to scroll through the Video Input Channels until you see the Input corresponding with the jack you have the device connected to. For example, if you have a DVD player connected to Input 2, look for Input 2 to appear in the channel banner. See Example 2 below.
