Setting Up Cable Box Channel
The CABLE CHAN function lets you
program to which channel the TV will
automatically tune when you press the
DSS•CABLE button on the remote.
This is handy if you want to connect an
RCA DSS
®
receiver or other satellite
receiver, or if your cable company
requires you to connect a cable box to
your TV. You will no longer have to
remember the output channel of the
DSS
®
receiver or cable box because the
TV will remember for you.
For example, if you connect a cable
box to the TV’s CABLE/ANTENNA
connector (as shown on page 31), you
will no longer have to remember to
select channel 2, 3, or 4 on the TV to
see what’s coming from the cable box.
By entering the cable box’s output
channel (usually 02, 03, or 04) next to
the CABLE CHAN function, the TV
will automatically tune to that channel
each time you press the DSS•CABLE
button on the remote.
This function is especially convenient
if you have a remote-controllable cable
box that can be operated by the
DSS•CABLE button on the remote (as
described on page 33). Pressing the
DSS•CABLE button will then not only
switch the remote to cable mode but
will also automatically tune the TV to
the proper channel for viewing the
picture from the cable box.
1. Repeatedly press MENU•PROG to
select the SETUP MENU, and then
press + or – to display the setup
functions. Repeatedly press
MENU•PROG to select the CABLE
CHAN function.
2. Enter the channel number you want to
program by pressing two digit buttons
on the remote control. (The channel
number you enter is the channel to
which the TV will tune automatically
when you later press the
DSS•CABLE button on the remote.)
The TV will change to the channel
you select. This will help you to
confirm that it is indeed the channel
you want the TV to automatically
tune. Most cable boxes output their
signals on either channel 02, 03, or
04.
3. Press the + button to program the
channel number you selected into
the CABLE CHAN function memory.
Note: Pressing the – button here will
turn off this feature and display
CABLE CHAN: OFF again.
