(160-0420)                 Preparation                Faxback Doc. # 33161

INITIAL SETTING

You can set the Model 28 to display on-screen menus in English or in
Spanish.

Then you can store TV channels in the tuner's memory.  This makes scanning
the channels more convenient because the TV scans only the stored channels.

NOTE:  To store cable channels into memory, connect the Model 28 to the
       cable system before completing the following steps.  See "Connecting
       to a Cable System" under "Setting Up", on Faxback Doc. # 33159.

1.  Press POWER to turn on the Model 28. If this is the first time you have
    turned on the Model 28, the language display automatically appears on
    the screen.

2.  Select 1 (ENGLISH) or 2 (ESPANOL) with the remote control's number
    buttons.

3.  Press SELECT. The Model 28 automatically distinguishes between standard
    TV channels and CATV, and stores active channels.  Then it tunes to the
    stored channel with the lowest channel number.
