Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What’s the quickest way to view High Deﬁ nition (HD) video?

Connect an off-air antenna to the ANTENNA CABLE/DIGITAL INPUT to view free local digital

channels. You might need to purchase an antenna. Go to page 6 for more information.

Visit www.antennaweb.org to get help deciding what type of antenna to use to receive the local

digital channels available to you. By entering where you live, this mapping program tells you

what local analog and digital stations are available using a certain antenna.

Why are there black bars on my screen and can I get rid of them?

Analog channels are sent in a 4:3 format, which cannot ﬁ ll a 16:9 screen like your TV. Press the

ZOOM +/- buttons to choose a format that may eliminate the black bars.

Most digital channels are sent in a 16:9 format which do ﬁ ll your screen, but sometimes are sent

in 4:3. It depends on how the station is formatting the video. Unfortunately, you can't get rid of

the black bars.

How do I tell an analog channel from a digital channel?

Press the INFO button to display the channel banner. Look at the left corner for a channel

number. Channels with a primary channel and a sub-channel are digital channels, but not

all digital channels have sub-channels. Look at the middle for the format (4:3 for analog and

sometimes digital; 16:9 for digital) the TV is receiving. Go to page 19 for more information.

Why does channel search ﬁ nd a lot of channels, but when I try to tune to them there’s nothing there?

Some channels are enabled by the cable company that don’t carry programming, such as video-

on-demand. When channels are unavailable, your TV’s screen is blank or appears like snow.

You probably want to get rid of these so they no longer appear in your channel list. Remove

these in the Channel List menu. Go to page 30 for more information.

Why does the ﬁ rst channel search take a long time?

If you’ve connected a signal to both ANALOG and DIGITAL INPUTS, the TV is looking for all

available channels in the channel list. If you do have digital channels, the TV is also searching

for each sub-channel of that digital channel.
