Connections Menu

The Connections menu specifies various ways to adjust the inputs to your
television. Items in the Connections menu are: Signal Strength, Channel Search,
Software Upgrade, Signal Source, Video Input Setup, Auto Tuning, Special
Features, and Ethernet Setup.

This screen lists any channel EVER added to the TV. The list shows the channel

Strength: N/A
the channel is digital or analog, which tuner is picking up the channel, and
Strength: N/A
current signal strength of digital channels.
Strength: 94
When you move the highlight to the Signal Strength list, the TV attempts to tune
to that channel. You can then adjust your off-air antenna for maximum signal
strength (largest number) for the selected channel. The signal strength for a
digital channel will be shown as "- -" until the signal is strong enough for use,
then numbers will appear. Analog channels will always have the display,
"N/A", since analog signal strength is not measured.
Only primary channels appear in the list. Digital subchannels, e.g. 8-1, 8-2, do
not appear.
Note: If you have both Antenna and Cable channels, press the
ANT•CAB button to view your Cable channels, or vice-versa.

channels with no signal at all) aren't placed in the channel list.
To add a channel that Channel
Search didn't find, clear all
menus and directly tune to the
channel with the number keys.
To do a complete channel search, check each box that pertains to your TV. For
example, if you're only receiving cable from the CABLE INPUT, highlight Cable
Input and press OK to place a checkmark in the box. Select Start to begin the
search.
Notes: Channel Search with all options selected takes some time to
complete because all possible analog and digital channels are being
searched.
If a cable box or CableCARD is connected to your TV's CABLE INPUT,
Channel Search won't work for it.
