VIRTUAL CHANNELS
Using the virtual channel mapping feature of your HCI television, will allow you to make a custom channel lineup. You can
assign both analog and digital channels a virtual channel number, different from the one given from your cable company.
Virtual channels allow each channel to be assigned a whole digit number even if it is a digital channel. When Virtual Channels
are turned on the TV channel line up will be based on the assigned Virtual Channels. The TV will tune channels using the
virtual number. The virtual number will be displayed as the channel number but the TV will actually tune to the channel the
virtual number was assigned to. See pages 14 and 15 for instructions on setting the virtual channel number.
Another use for virtual channels is when you have digital channels but no period button on the pillow speaker. If you have a
digital channel such as 12.1 you can assign a virtual channel number such as 6. (Any unused number can be used.) Now to tune
to channel 12.1 you enter 6 on the pillow speaker. The TV channel number display reads 6 but the set tunes to channel 12.1.
The example shown below shows how channels are tuned based on the 6 channels shown and if Virtual Channel is on or off.
NOTES:
To aid setting up virtual channels you can turn Real Channel Display on in the Advance Setting menu. This
will show both the Virtual Channel and real channel number on the OSD channel display. See page 15.
If Virtual CH No. is set to On only channels that have a virtual channel number assigned will be available
regardless of the bank setting.
