Guide 6 Sony TV Manual Re-tuning
Models Covered by this Guide: KDLS23A12U KDLS26A12U KDLS32A12U KDLS40A12U KDFE42A11E KDFE42A12U KDFE50A11E KDFE50A12U TAV-L1
If you are comfortable with technical information and your auto re-tune hasnt worked, you can use this Manual Re-tuning Guide. However If you find manual retuning too difficult please contact your local electrical retailer or installer. If your TV receives a different regional service to your preferred service, (for example BBC England instead of BBC Scotland or ITV Central instead of ITV Anglia) you can use this manual retune guide to select your preferred regional service.

Step 1

Before commencing any manual retuning please ensure the desired stations are not already store in the 800s (Typically preset 801 (BBC) and 803 (ITV)). If your preferred stations are in the 800s then add them to your favorite stations or perform a Program Sort (Please refer to your handbook or download it from the support section of www.sony.co.uk)

Step 2

Before you start you need to obtain and take a record of the channel numbers for your area, this can be identified by using the Digital UK website www.digitaluk.co.uk/manualretuning where you simply input your postcode and house number, then you will be given numbers between 21 and 68 for Group 1 to Group 6 Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Group 4 Group 5 Group 6
Write down the UHF channel numbers of your transmitter using the Group boxes here
To prevent the product from overriding your manual retune you have to turn Off the automatic station update which is called Auto service update (This selects the best quality signal rather than your preferred station).
