• Use a 4-digit number for an over-the-air digital channel.
• Use a 6-digit number for digital cable channels if your cable
service is able to recognize 6-digit channel numbers.

• Be sure the channel you want to view is in memory. See
"Channel Menu" in chapter 4, "TV Menu Settings."
• Check that the TV is turned to the correct device or antenna
for that channel by pressing the INPUT button.
• Make sure the Parental Lock is off.
• If you cannot tune to a virtual digital channel even though the
TV has already memorized digital channels, tune to the actual

vider. No other data is available.
