  • Push the power button on the Sony remote - Green lite will come on.
    It will take about 5 seconds for the TV to power up.
  • If you see antenna/cable icon in the upper left you are ready for TV.
  • If you see "No Signal" in the lower right you need to call the Cable company - SuddenLink (see the notes page)
  • If you see HDMI 1 you need to:
    • Press the input button (upper left hand on remote)
    • Press up arrow (top of ring on remote) to go to TV
  • Select your Channel with + or - CH buttons
    Or type the number on the numeric pad. Digital channels will usually be the number + .1, e.g. 25.1 for CNN.

You can go to the Menu > Settings > Channel from your remote.
Then select "Label Channels" or "Show/Hide Channels"
or do it from the Internet:
We have Basic and Extended Basic from SuddenLink.

"Click to see channels" above has not been working. Try www.suddenlink.com/television/lineup.php
or the TV list at our Tahoe web

Use Toshiba remote for DVD
Press open/close on upper left of remote to open tray.

It says it could take up to 50 minutes, but only takes a few minutes.
One report said this didn't work and you had to use Auto Program, which would erase labels,
however both automatically put in standard labels and most people don't add their own.
