Sony TV Manual Re-tuning
If you are comfortable with technical information and your “auto re-tune” hasn’t
worked, you can use this “Manual Re-tuning Guide”. However If you find manual
retuning too difficult please contact your local electrical retailer or installer.
If your TV receives a different regional service to your preferred service, (for example BBC
England instead of BBC Scotland or ITV Central instead of ITV Anglia) you can use this
manual retune guide to select your preferred regional service.
Step 1
Before commencing any manual retuning please ensure the desired stations are not already
store in the 800’s (Typically preset 801 (BBC) and 803 (ITV)). If your preferred stations are in
the 800’s then add them to your “favorite stations” or perform a “Program Sort” (Please refer
to your handbook or download it from the support section of www.sony.co.uk)
Step 2
Before you start you need to obtain and take a record of the channel numbers for your area,
this can be identified by using the Digital UK website – www.digitaluk.co.uk/manualretuning
where you simply input your postcode and house number, then you will be given numbers
between 21 and 68 for Group 1 to Group 6 -
To prevent the product from overriding your manual retune you have to turn “Off” the
automatic station update which is called “Auto service update” (This selects the best quality
signal rather than your preferred station).
