Checking the Digital-Signal Strength
Unlike analog channels, which can vary in reception quality from “snowy” to clear, digital (HDTV) channels have either perfect 
reception quality or you will not receive them at all. So, unlike analog channels, you cannot fine tune a digital channel.
You can, however, adjust your antenna to improve the reception of available digital channels.
1
Press the MENUbutton. Press the  or  button to select “Channel”,
then press the 
ENTERbutton.
2
Press the  or  button to select “Signal Strength”, then press the
ENTERbutton.
If the signal strength meter indicates that the signal is weak, physically
adjust your antenna to increase the signal strength. 
Continue to adjust the antenna until you find the best position with the
strongest signal. 
Select “Return” by pressing the 
ENTERbutton, to return to the previous
menu. Press the 
EXIT button to exit.
Digital
LNA (Low Noise Amplifier)
If the TV is operating in a weak-signal area, sometimes the LNA function can improve the reception (a low-noise preamplifier boosts 
the incoming signal).

then press the 
ENTERbutton.
2
Press the  or  button to select “LNA”, then press the ENTERbutton.

ENTERbutton.

ENTER
button to return to the previous menu.  Press the EXITbutton to exit.
