Fine Tune Channel (for analog channels only) Lets you make small adjustments to the
tuning of analog channels. Make sure you're tuned to an analog channel (you can't fine tune
digital channels). Use the up and down arrows to choose either Auto or Manual.
Auto searches automatically for the current analog channel's strongest signal and fine
tunes the channel accordingly.
Manual allows you to search for the current analog channel's strongest signal using the
slider in the Fine Tuning screen. Press OK to choose Manual, then use the left and right
arrow buttons on your remote control to adjust the tuning of the analog signal.
Signal Strength (for digital channels only) Unlike analog channels, which can vary in
reception quality from "snowy" to clear, digital (HDTV) channels have either excellent
reception quality or no reception at all. So, unlike analog channels, you can't fine tune
digital channels. You can, however, adjust your antenna to improve the reception of digital
channels in your area. The HDTV Tuner's built-in digital signal meter shows the strength of
the digital signal for the current channel. Make sure you're tuned to the AIR input (the signal
meter only works with digital channels). The signal meter shows the digital signal strength
for the current channel. Experiment with the placement of your antenna to get the strongest
signal you can find.
Note: At times the signal meter displays the message "No Signal" even when a signal is
present. This is due to irregularities in the signal being broadcast. Contact the TV station
responsible for the broadcast for more information.
