When in the tuner mode (selected by pushing the TV/VIDEO button) go into the menu and move to
the TUNER tab.
1. Select QUICK TUNING to begin. This will go through your available channels and try and tune
them in to the units best ability. (What you will see is each channel be selected and the tuner
be calibrated by itself to get the best picture possible for that channel. Similar to the auto-configure
mode you might see on a newer television.)
2. Exit Menu
3. Select a channel you want to adjust and then go back into the Menu/Tuner section.
4. Fine Tuning will allow you to adjust the frequency the V-Pod is set on. Note: If the channel you
are adjusting goes to high it will start moving up in stations. IE: If you are tuning channel 4 and keep
adjusting it higher and higher, you will soon start seeing channel 5 instead, then 6 etc. Or if you went
too far down you would be on channel 3, then 2 etc…
