Using the Channel Browser™

The Channel Browser stores the most recently viewed channels (up to 32) in the channel history. This feature allows you to:

*Note: Turning off the TV will clear the channel history for all three inputs.
• Quickly surf and tune your recently viewed channels from the Channel Browser banner (illustrated below).
• Surf via Browse mode (to immediately tune channels as you highlight them in the Channel Browser banner) or Select mode (to surf
over channels in the browser banner before you select one to tune).
• Set a "HOME" channel for the ANT 1, ANT 2, and Cable Box inputs.
To open the Channel Browser banner: Press x ( ), • ( ), or ENTER on the remote control.

input, which are automatically stored in the channel history for the current input (ANT 1, ANT 2, or Cable Box only).
