Connect the cable lead to the RF input lead and let the set find the
channels, or loop it from the CATV box to the RF input so the tv finds at
least channel #3. Then select the component input to watch the thing. May
end the endless "English" and autp programme syndrome.

My son has an RCA D52W20 (ATC221 chassis) HDTV receiver. Every time it's
turned on, it asks which language ("English?"). When you select English,
it
then tells you to select Channel Search to search for active channels as
if
doing the initial setup.

It does this EVERY time set is turned on.

He's just accepted it after all these months, and hits the "CLEAR" button
each time he turns the set on to bypass the annoying prompts.

His cable is connected to CMP1 input.

I don't know how he can live with it - it drives me nuts.

BTW, when channel search is done, it never finds anything, but TV works
fine. Is it normal to come up empty doing the search?

Anyone have any ideas (other than not buying RCA anymore) ?
