Using the Surf Feature

This feature allows you to set the TV to return to a particular channel after a certain
amount of time. For example, you may be watching a channel when commercials
start. You can set the Surf to “5 minutes”, then switch channels. After 5 minutes,
the TV will return to the original channel. To use the Surf:

1

While you are watching
the channel to which you
want to return, press the

R.SURF

button. The on-

screen display will read
“Surf off”.

2

Press the 

R.SURF

button

again to set the timer in
thirty second intervals, up
to five minutes.

3

The time you set will begin counting down on the screen.
When the time runs out, the TV will return to the channel you
were watching when you set the timer.

Surf          Off

Surf          1:    30

The time will be decreasing while

you are setting up the timer. And you
will reset it when you pass five min-
utes or turn it off.
