Why You Should Use the Auto Tuning Feature

The auto-tuning feature tunes the TV to the correct channel for different components you have connected
to your TV (like a VCR, DVD Player, etc.) When you set up auto tuning in the menu system you don't have to
remember to change your TV to channel 3, for example, when you want to watch the tape in your VCR.

How to Set Up the Auto Tuning Feature

The way you set up the auto tuning feature in the TV's menu corresponds to the component buttons on the
remote and the way you have each component connected to your TV. When you set auto tuning, you're
telling the TV what channel to tune to when you press the VCR, DVD, or SAT•CABLE button on the remote
control.
