1. When you switch on the TV for the first time a menu appears on the

included in the display to inform you of the tuning progress.

When Digital tuning is complete, the analogue display appears
automatically and the search and store procedure for the analogue
channels begins.

If no Digital and no analogue channels are found, a menu appears
asking you to confirm your aerial is connected. After checking the
aerial has been connected press OK to begin the autotune
procedure again.

Once all Digital and analogue channels have been captured and
stored, the TV returns to normal operation and displays the Digital
channel captured on channel number 1.

If no Digital channels are captured, the analogue channel that is stored on
channel number 1 is displayed.
