What You need to Know

• Visit www.antennaweb.org to get help deciding what type of antenna to use to receive
the off-air 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.
• When you get to the Auto Channel Search screen in the Setup menu, choose Antenna
as your source type. The TV seaches for both analog and digital channels. To complete a
channel search now, go to page 14.
• When you are ready to watch digital channels, make sure you are tuned to a digital
channel. Digital stations typically have a dash in them because they may contain
subchannels, for example, 8-3.
When you are ready to watch an analog channel, make sure you are tuned to an
analog channel. Analog stations contain no more than three digits. Refer to page 14 for
information on analog and digital stations.

What You need

Antenna ("rabbit ears") or outdoor antenna with a coaxial cable.
Plug the antenna or coaxial cable from the wall outlet into the
ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT to receive free off-air local analog and
digital channels (where available).
When using the input described above, use the ANTENNA
(DIG•ANA) button on the remote to toggle between the digital and
analog channels. Refer to page 14.
Note: Another way to see if you're tuned to a digital or
analog channel is to press the INFO button. This brings up the
Channel Banner screen, discussed on page 18.
