) inputs, composite video (Y/Video) inputs, or S-VIDEO inputs.
There are several ways to connect your HDTV, depending on the devices you want to connect and the quality of
the signal you want to achieve. The HDMI/DVI and component inputs are considered excellent; S-Video is very
good; and composite jacks are good.
For more information about connecting your HDTV to other devices, refer to Chapter 1 of the User’s Guide.

•
Complete Channel Search .
Even though this initial channel search can take several minutes, it is
important to complete in order for your TV to display channels and programming information. Make sure
you have completed Step 1
Connecting Your HDTV
before you begin the channel search. To do a complete
channel search, check each box that pertains to your TV. For example, if you’re only receiving channels
from the CABLE INPUT, highlight
Cable Input
and press OK to place a check mark in the box. Select
Start
to begin the setup. When the channel search is complete, a message screen appears. Select
Continue
and
press OK to setup the TV Guide On Screen system.
Notes:
If you skip Channel Search now, you can access it later through the Connections menu. For more detailed
instructions, refer to Chapter 4 of the User’s Guide.
If a cable box is connected to your TV’s CABLE INPUT, or a digital cable card is in use, Channel Search won’t work for Cable
Input.
E. Complete the TV Guide On Screen system setup.
The TV Guide On Screen system is a no-fee, on-
screen interactive program guide that lists what shows are on TV in your area. In order to receive program
listings, you need to complete the steps after you’ve read through the introductory screens. For detailed
instructions on completing the TV Guide On Screen system setup, refer to Chapter 1 of the User’s Guide.
F. Edit the Channel List.
Some channels might be found during the channel search that are unavailable to
view. If your TV’s screen displays
Unusable Signal
, you might want to get rid of these so they no longer
appear in your channel list. Go to the
Parental Controls
menu, then depending on which input you want
to delete channels from, choose
Cable
or
Antenna Channel List
. Editing the channel list may be time
consuming, so you might want to do it later. For detailed instructions, refer to the beginning of Chapter 3
of the User’s Guide.
