TO MEMORIZE CHANNELS TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Before requesting service, please refer to the following chart for the symptom and possible solution.
This TV is equipped with a channel memory feature which allows channels to skip up or down

normal VHF and UHF channels, this TV can receive up to 113 Cable TV channels. To use this
