Tuning the TV to your unit
The unit supplies a signal to the TV via the RF coaxial cable on 
channel 3 or 4. 
It is possible to view the video picture on your TV in the same way 
that you watch TV broadcasts.
If you have connected the unit to the TV through the video and 
audio input sockets, then you do not need to follow the procedure 
below.
When the unit is turned on after unpacking and connecting 
the antenna cable and the AC power cord, Plug in Auto Tuning 
and Auto Clock Setting start automatically.
The unit is fitted with its own tuner (just like a normal TV) and can 
be preset to receive up to 181 TV broadcast stations.
Plug in Auto Tuning
Auto Tuning searches for TV stations from VHF minimum to UHF 
maximum and memorizes every tuned program position.
Notes:
≥If the unit is turned on with the antenna not connected, all 
channels are skipped.
≥When Auto Tuning is canceled halfway, Auto Tuning is not 
executed even if the unit is turned off and then turned on again. 
In this case, see page 16 “To Restart Plug in Auto Tuning”.
Preparations
