Changing network settings
If needed, you can change your network settings at any time. For

Changing ZIP Code
Only in connected mode, your TV needs to know your ZIP Code so
that it can display the correct channels and program guide
information. It attempts to determine your ZIP Code by using
information from your Internet connection; however, the
information available from this source is not always accurate. To
ensure you have the most accurate program guide information,
use the ZIP Code option to enter your correct ZIP Code.
To set your correct ZIP code, from the Home screen menu,
navigate to
Settings
>
System
> ZIP Code, and then pressing the
RIGHT
arrow. Use the on-screen number pad to select each of the
digits of your ZIP Code, and then select
OK
.

or manually, and if set manually, select your current time zone.
