receive from the same VHF/UHF antenna used in Area 1. The ZIP Code

Testing the Strength of the Terrestrial Digital Channels
The INSTALLATION screen will also display the
signal strengths of the terrestrial digital channels. The
screen displays a numerical strength indication and a
bar graph accompanied by an audible tone to indicate
signal strength. The higher the number, the greater the
amount of the bar graph occupied, or the faster the
beeping tone, the stronger the signal.
You should test the signal strength of each digital
channel by “physical” Channel Number, not by
“virtual” Channel Number. The “physical” Channel
Number is the channel number that the FCC uses to
identify the channel frequency, and it is a one-digit or
two-digit number. The “virtual” Channel Number is the number that a local broadcast station
wishes to use to identify itself. For instance, if the number for your local CBS analog channel is 2
(Channel 2), then that station may use 2-1 as a digital “virtual” Channel Number, even though the
“physical” number assigned by the FCC to that channel is 40.
To test the strength of terrestrial digital channel signals, highlighting the Source button on the
INSTALLATION screen and pressing the key on the remote control will display the
SOURCE pop-up menu. Using the and keys to highlight the Local Digital button on the pop-
up menu and pressing the key on the remote control will display the LOCAL DIGITAL
Signal Strength Screen. Use the and keys on the remote control to move to the column on the
left and use the and to highlight the
Channel button. Press the key on the remote
control to display the CHANNEL pop-up menu.
If you know the “physical” numbers for your local channels, use the number buttons on the
remote control to select each channel number, and observe the signal strength. If you do not know
these “physical” channel numbers, use the and keys on the remote control to change the
channel one number at a time. Channels with a signal strength of less than 60 may require a better
antenna, adjustment of the antenna angle, or the antenna may be too far away from the signal
source.
After fine-tuning, highlighting the Done button and pressing the key on the remote control
will display the INSTALLATION screen. Highlighting the Video button and pressing the
key on the remote control will display the channel last viewed. You may also use the Exit key on
the remote control to exit all menus and return to the last viewed channel.
