Since you all seem to be very familiar with Sharp LCD TVs, can you tell
me how to do a channel scan after the initial set-up? I have a new
LC-40c32U and did the channel scan when we initially set it up, but don't
seem to have that option any longer, although the manual indicates that I
should be able to do so.

Thanks

Haven't seen a 40c32, but some menu items are context sensitive. So, a
channel scan might not be available when you are watching a DVD or cable
program.; i.e. the input has to be in TV mode.

I just took a look at my set. With the remote control, push MENU, go to
SETUP, and then scroll down to CH SETUP. I don't hink your set has TVGuide.
If it does, you might have to run setup on that first.

I just purchased a Sharp Aquos 32 and really like the analog picture. I
get a screen message that states my digital signal is too low and so I
can not receive a HD picture. When I use the internal signal strength
meter I obtain readings ranging from 45 to 55.

Have you tried rotating your antenna? When I set up mine, I first put
it up on a stand on the back porch, then put my STB in signal strength
mode. However, my STB had a "squawk" mode where I could hear the signal
get weaker or stronger as I turned the antenna. With my old
second-generation STB and the multipath from being about 10-15 miles
from the antenna farm, there was only a very narrow range in which I
could get all the channels. Once I knew the direction, I mounted the
antenna on the chimney and still had to tweak it a bit to get it right
before I tightened the bolts down. And every 2-4 months I have to go up
there and muscle it back after the wind turns it a little off.

I don't think you need the service menu. On my set you go to MENU PICTURTE
ADVANCED , using the remote. While you are at it, you might want to change
the color temperature. I ended up going up one step to 9000 (?).


Tam ,

A LC 32D40U doesn't have those options.
There is no 'advanced' option and the
color temp only allows a cool/medium/warm selection.

You're right. Apparently I have to be in TV mode to have the channel setup
option. When I'm on Input 1 (cable), channel setup is not an option. Thanks.
