Why You Should Use the Auto
Tuning Feature
The auto-tuning feature automatically tunes the TV to the correct channel for
different components you have connected to your TV (like a VCR, DVD Player,
etc.) When you set up auto tuning in the menu system you don’t have to
remember to change your TV to channel 3, for example, when you want to
watch the tape in your VCR.
How to Set Up the Auto Tuning Feature
The way you set up the auto tuning feature in the TV’s menu corresponds to
the component buttons on the remote and the way you have each component
connected to your TV. When you set auto tuning, you’re telling the TV what
channel to tune to when you press the VCR1, VCR2, DVD, or SAT•CABLE
button on the remote control.
