You can view your current TV-software version and check
if a new software version is available.
If you have a connection to the TV's Ethernet jack, your TV
may periodically alert you to the availability of a TV
software upgrade which can be downloaded through the
Ethernet jack.
From time to time, your cable company may use the Cable
Input to automatically upgrade the digital-cable software
in the TV. If the TV is on, you'll be notified when it occurs.
Status: TV-software upgrade XXXXX is available by
selecting the "Upgrade Now" button below.

Press OK to start a Channel Search using only the search
features that are checked above.
Channel Search finds channels
for you. Check fewer boxes to
make the search faster (but
less complete) and vice versa.
The first time that you do a
Channel Search, put a check in
all the boxes to do a thorough
search for channels.
Input to search:
Cable Input
Antenna Input
Channels to search:
Digital channels
Analog channels
Other search options:
Detect antenna or cable setting
Include previously found channels in search
To add a channel that Channel
Search didn't find, clear all
menus and directly tune to the
channel with the number keys.
Start Start
Tip
You can still add a channel that was not found
by Channel Search. Clear any on-screen
menus, and tune to it by using the number
buttons on the remote. If the channel can be
tuned, it will be added to the channel list for
that tuner.
Signal Strength
This screen lists any channel EVER added to the TV. The list shows the channel
number, the station name (only when tuned, e.g. NBC), whether the channel is
digital or analog, which tuner is picking up the channel, and current signal
strength of digital channels.
When you move the highlight to the Signal Strength list, the TV attempts to tune
to that channel. You can then adjust your off-air antenna for maximum signal
strength (largest number) for the selected channel. The signal strength for a
digital channel will be shown as “- -” until the signal is strong enough for use,
then numbers will appear. Analog channels will always have the display,
“N/A”, since analog signal strength is not measured.
Only primary channels appear in the list. Digital subchannels, e.g. 8-1, 8-2, do
not appear.
Note:
If you have both Antenna and Cable channels, press the
ANT•CAB button to view your Cable channels, or vice-versa.
Channel Search
Engaging in a channel search tells the TV to search for all the terrestrial TV
channels available through the Antenna and Cable inputs. When the TV finds an
active channel, it places it in the channel list. Inactive channels (weak stations
or channels with no signal at all) aren’t placed in the channel list.
To do a complete channel search, check each box that pertains to your TV. For
example, if you’re only receiving cable from the CABLE INPUT, highlight
Cable
Input and press OK to place a checkmark in the box. Select Start to begin the
setup.
Notes: Channel Search with all options selected takes some time to
complete because all possible analog and digital channels are being
searched.
If cable box or CableCARD is connected to your TV’s CABLE INPUT,
Channel Search won’t work for it.
Software Upgrade
The Software Upgrade screen contains current software information and
indicates if a new upgrade is available. The software upgrades can be
accomplished only if you have the TV connected via the Ethernet cable to the
Internet with ISP subscription. Select the
Upgrade Now button, if available, to
upgrade your software.
Note:
If using a dialup service via a router connected at a dialup speed
of 56K, the Software Upgrade could take several hours or more. If TV is
unplugged while doing a Software Upgrade during this time, it could
cause the TV to not operate properly.
