Sat” or “Antenna”) you have connected to the

Scan:

TV searches for channels with signals and stores 

the channel information in the Channel List. Then, 

as you watch TV and press CH+ or CH-, your 

TV goes to the next or previous channel in the 

Channel List and skips the channels that do not 

have signals. If the TV signal source changes – for 

example, if you change from an outdoor antenna 

to cable TV – you will need to rescan for channels.
To automatically scan for channels:
1.  After choosing a signal source, select 

Setting > 

Channel > Scan

.

are found in the on-screen menu.

you wish to stop the search, press the 

CLEAR

 

button.)

icon appears to the right side of the channel 

indicating this channel already stored in the 

favorite channel list. 

3.  Set other favorite channels the same way.
4.  You can easily select the favorite channel to 

watch using 

FAV

 and ▲/▼ buttons. 

Show/Hide: 

You can hide channels in the Channel 

List. Then, when you press the 

CH+

 or 

CH-

 button, 

the TV will skip the hidden channels. You can still 

tune to these hidden channels by pressing the 

number of the channel on the numeric keypad.
To hide specific channels:
1.  Select “Show/Hide”, press 

OK/►

 to open the 

submenu.

to hide; then press

 to check the highlighted 

channel. You can add the channel back into the 

Channel List by highlighting it and un-checking 

it.

Closed Caption

Many programs are encoded with closed captioning 

information, which allows you to display the audio 

portion of a program as text on the TV screen.

Note: 

Closed caption settings are not available for 

HDMI, CMPT or PC inputs. These settings must be 

set in the connected component’s menu. Closed 

captioning is not available on all channels at all 

times. Only specific programs are encoded with 

closed captioning information.

captioning information to be shown whenever 

available.

CC On Mute - 

This option allows the closed 

captioning to display (when available) whenever 

the TV’s sound is muted. The captioning 

information is not displayed when the sound is 

not muted.

Analog CC Option: 

This option lets you select 

the captioning mode (CC1-CC4 or TEXT1-TEXT4) 

used for displaying caption information, when 

available. If you are unsure of the differences 

among the modes, you may prefer to leave the 

closed captioned mode set to CC1, which displays 

complete text of the program in the primary 

language in your area.

Digital CC Option: 

If available, this allows you 

to select a closed caption service mode (1-6) for 

digital channels.
