Quick Front-panel Setup

Click the SETUP button, use Up or Down to HD Output menu, use Left or Right
keys to choose input, press SELECT to choose. HDMI is always active.
HD Resolution
Go to the next menu down, and cycle through the list of resolutions. Press SELECT
to choose. Note that our Component port supports 1080p –we’ve found a
number of TVs that support that resolution.
Air or Cable Tuning
Go to the next menu and select CATV, Air, IRC, HRC, or CATV Auto. Press SELECT
to choose. IRC has the same channel map as standard CATV, except for 5 and 6.
The HRC channel map uses completely different frequencies than the others. CABLE
AUTO looks at the first few channels to determine the right format. If there are no
channels between 2 and 6, you may have to set the tuning mode manually.
Select Scan Mode
Page down a number of menus to the Scan Mode menu. The Left or Right keys
will select several options
Analog+Digital (standard full scan)
Digital –Delete Analog (scan for digital, delete any analog channels)
Digital –Keep Analog (scan for digital, but keep all analog channels)
Analog –Delete Digital (scan for analog, delete any digital channels)
Analog –Keep Digital (scan for analog, but keep all digital channels)
Once you do the next step, scan from the front-panel menu, the tuner will always
scan this way from the panel or on-screen menu –until you change the mode later
on.
Channel Scan
The next menu starts the Channel Scan, just press SELECT to start scanning. You
can watch the scan progress from a pop-up window on the video outputs from the
tuner. You can watch the scan process if the output of the tuner is fed to a display.
A Cable analog/digital scan will take 7 minutes, only digital 6 minutes (the analog
scan is faster).
