Basic Operation
Channel and Program tuning in digital television differs
from conventional television. With DTV, many programs
can exist within a single 6 MHz channel. These channels
behave as sub-channels within a single channel. When
tuning to a digital channel, the unit will also tune to a
program and will indicate the channel and program in the
on-screen Channel Banner display.
In order to select channels properly, Auto program must
be performed. (p. 29)
Follow the procedure below to directly enter the channel
number using the NUMBER keys on the Remote
Control.
