he scan list so you can select them more quickly with
the CHANNEL
• and • buttons. (Use the numbered
buttons
on the remote control
to select channels you
deleted from the scan list.) Occasionally

a vacant
channel in the
;can list if there happened
to be some sort of "noise"
or "stray signal" on the channel when the tuner was
programmed.

explains how to delete
any unwanted
channels
from the scan list.
1. Use the CHANNEL
• or • button to select the
channel that you want to remove from the scan
list.
2. Press ERASE.
3. Repeat the procedure
for each channel you want
to delete from the scan list.
Adding Channels
to the Scan List
You may have deleted a channel
from the scan list
and want
to put it back.
Occasionally
Automatic
Programming
may "miss" an active channel because
the signal
is very weak or because
the channel
happened
to be "off the air" when the tuner was
programmed.
Use this procedure
to put any channel
in the scan list.
1. Use the digit (0-9) buttons
on the hand unit to
select the channel you want to add to the scan
list.
2. Press ADD.
3. Repeat the procedure
for each channel you want
to add to the scan list.
Note: You can add the VCR's video input to the scan
list, if you so desire. Press "91" on the remote, then
press ADD on the VCR. This can be convenient
if
you use the VCR's video input for another
device
] such as a satellite receiver.
