Question:

How do I perform an auto program on my TV?

Answer:

To preform an Auto Program, follow these steps:

1. Connect your antenna or direct cable line to the corresponding coax (RF) input on the back of your TV.

Note: If you are using an antenna or satellite system connect to the AIR connection. If you are using a direct cable line or other external device use the CABLE connection.

2. With the TV on, press MENU on your remote to bring up the Main Menu. Then, press the ▼ arrow to select the Channel Menu, and then press ENTER.

Important: If the Channel Menu is greyed out, you must exit the menu and then press the SOURCE button on your remote to set your Cable/Air input.

3. Press ENTER and use the ▲ or ▼ arrow to select the antenna you connected to in step 1, and then press ENTER.
4. Press the down ▼ arrow to select Auto Program, and then press ENTER.

4. Press the ▲ or ▼ arrow to highlight either Air or Cable, and then press ENTER. If you selected Air, continue to Step 7. If you selected Cable, continue to Step 5.

5. Press the ▲ or ▼ arrow to highlight STD, HRC, or IRC, and then press ENTER. Repeat for digital channels.

Note: The most common cable system is STD, however some smaller cable companies still use the older HRC or IRC systems. Your cable company transmits digital and analog on the same cable system.

6. Press ENTER once more on Start to begin programming channels into the TV.
7. The TV memorizes all stations first and then removes scrambled channels.

Note: This process can take over 20 minutes.

8. When the Auto Program is complete, press ENTER to begin watching TV.
