A single off-air antenna can pick up both analog and digital channels. Digital channels can be
made up of primary channels and subchannels.
Note: Subchannels (sometimes called minor channels) are channels associated with the
Primary channel (sometimes called the major channel). A primary channel may have just one
subchannel or multiple subchannels.

Notes: You can always use the channel up and down buttons on
the remote control to change channels within the TV mode.

formats. Your HDTV can display both types and adjusts the picture
accordingly.
If you wait too long before entering the subchannel, the TV tunes
