Enter a channel number with the NUMBER PAD.
Using the Up and Down Arrows
While watching live TV, if you want to change the channels one at a time
to see what’s on, press the UP and DOWN ARROWS on your remote
control. You can also change the channels the same way using the UP
and DOWN ARROWS on the receiver front panel.

to watch, enter the channel number using the NUMBER PAD on
the remote control.
