and adjusting any terrestrial TV antennas.

between antennas, highlight a channel and then press ANTENNA on the remote
control.
When getting antenna information, the screen lists:

whether the channel is digital or analog,

•
if a digital channel, the current signal strength.
The channel list consists of all channels being received or that have
been received from terrestrial antennas.
The interactive setup process allows
you to complete all steps or selectively
skip steps.
