BASIC TV OPERATION

SELECTING A CHANNEL

There are two ways to select a channel: scanning and direct.

To scan for a channel, press CHANNEL t or s.  The tuner automatically
advances to the next memorized channel in the direction of the arrow.

NOTE:  If you press CHANNEL s when the tuner is at the highest memorized
       channel or CHANNEL t when the tuner is at the lowest memorized
       channel, the Model 28 enters the audio/video mode and displays AUX.
       Pressing either button again tunes to the highest or lowest
       memorized channel.

       To directly select a channel, press the remote control's number
       buttons for the desired channel.  You must precede one-digit channel
       numbers with a 0-02, 03, 04, and so on.  For three-digit channel
       numbers, press +100.  Then enter the second and third digits in the
       channel number.

       With direct channel selection, you can choose any channel in the
       tuner's range, even if you have not programmed the channel, if there
       is no broadcast present, or if the channel is scrambled (the tuner
       does not unscramble the channel).
