Programming channels into the 
TV’s channel memory

Auto scan 

- digital only -

As new services are broadcast, it will be necessary to re-tune 
the TV in order to view them.

Auto scan will completely re-tune the TV and can be used to 
update the channel list. It is recommended that Auto scan is run 
periodically to ensure that all new services are added. All 
stored programmes and settings, including Timer entries, 
favorites and locked programmes, will be lost.

 to start Auto tuning.

The above sample display shows 

Auto Scan

 in progress. 

The channel number is shown as “06-0007” etc., where 
“06” is the physical channel number and “0007” is the 
logical channel number (which is the 4-digit number you 
enter when changing channels).

7

When the search is complete, the TV will automatically 
tune to the lowest logical channel number.

Note:

After the 

Auto scan

, the TV may have scanned identical 

channels being broadcast from different transmitters. You can 
verify this by 

previewing

 those channels in the 

Channel List

 

with identical logical numbers and check on their physical 
channel numbers (

-

 page 30). If you do find channels with 

the same logical channel numbers but different physical 
channel numbers, it is recommended that you skip these 
duplicate channels and keep only one channel with the best 
signal strength as indicated by the SNR indicator in the I-Plate 
(

-

 page 16) display.

At this point you can rescan the signal or refer to the 

Si

g

nal Level

 bar and 

Quality

 for aligning the direction 

of the aerial to get the signal. Refer to your aerial installer 
if problem persists.

Notes:

Signal level

 refers to the input Radio Frequency (RF) signal 

strength as perceived by the TV. Note that too strong signal 
may cause erroneous readings. If you use an aerial booster 
and find that you still get a low signal level, your booster gain 
may be set too high. In this case, adjust the gain 
accordingly. You may also see the 

No Signal

 on the screen 

when the signal level is low.

Quality 

refers to the quality of the received digital signal. A 

high value of quality means that there are few errors in the 
signal. In the same way, a low value of quality implies that 
there are a large number of errors in the signal, which may 
cause distortions in video and audio.
