How to Connect a UHD Antenna and Run Auto Tuning

Step 1. Connect the UHD Antenna

  1. 1. Place the UHD antenna near a window to minimize signal interference.
  2. 2. Connect the antenna cable to the antenna input on the back of your TV.
  3. 3. If your TV has two antenna inputs, connect the cable to the input labeled UHD TV Antenna.

Step 2. Run Auto Tuning

After connecting the antenna, use your remote to search for available channels.

  • TVs released in 2021 or later (webOS 6.0 or later): Press Settings on your remote. Then, select All Settings, General, Channels, Channel Tuning, Auto Tuning, Start, and Done.
  • TVs released in 2020 or earlier (webOS 5.0 or earlier): Press Settings on your remote. Then, select All Settings, Channels, Channel Tuning, Auto Tuning, Start, and Done.

When Auto Tuning is complete, your TV automatically saves the channels it can receive.

Note
  • If your TV has only one antenna input, connect the cable directly to it.
  • If you use a set-top box, you do not need to run Auto Tuning. Change your TV input to the HDMI port connected to your set-top box.
  • Menu names may differ depending on the TV model and webOS version.

Warning

  • Secure the antenna if you install it outdoors or in an elevated location. To prevent electric shock, do not touch the antenna or cable during a thunderstorm.

FAQ

Q. Why Can’t I Watch UHD Broadcasts After Running Auto Tuning?
A. Make sure UHD broadcasts are available in your area. If UHD broadcasts are available, move your antenna closer to a window or adjust its direction. Then run Auto Tuning again.
Q. Can I Watch UHD Broadcasts With a Standard Antenna?
A. You must use a dedicated UHD antenna to watch UHD broadcasts, as standard analog or HD antennas cannot receive UHD signals properly.

This guide is based on standard models. The settings menu may vary by model.
