What You need to Know

unscrambled digital cable content. Check with your cable provider for information about content availability in
your area. Your TV also receives analog cable TV channels.
• When you get to the Auto Channel Search screen in the Setup menu, choose Cable as your source type. The TV
seaches for both analog and digital channels. To complete a channel search now, go to page 14.
• When you are ready to watch digital channels, make sure you are tuned to a digital channel. Digital stations
typically have a dash in their channel number because they may contain subchannels, for example, 8-3.
When you are ready to watch an analog channel, make sure you are tuned to an analog channel. Analog stations
contain no more than three digits. Refer to page 14 for information on analog and digital stations.
