Why You Should Use the Auto
Tuning Feature
The auto-tuning feature automatically tunes the TV to the
correct channel for different components you have
connected to your TV (like a VCR, DVD Player, etc.)
When you set up auto tuning in the menu system you
don’t have to remember to change your TV to channel 3,
for example, when you want to watch the tape in your
VCR.
How to Set Up the Auto Tuning
Feature
The way you set up the auto tuning feature in the TV’s
menu corresponds to the component buttons on the
remote and the way you have each component
connected to your TV. When you set auto tuning, you’re
telling the TV what channel to tune to when you press
the VCR1, VCR2, DVD, or SAT•CABLE button on the
remote control.
