Can't Change Signal Source On Rca Tv

We just bought an antenna for our RCA R52WH74 tv after years of using cable.  I am trying to do channel setup, but it won't let me change the 'signal source' option.  The antenna comes with a coax cable and I have tried connecting it to both the digital and analog input ports on the back, but when I bring up the setup menu, all I can get is the channel search option for 'analog tuner'.  I tried changing it but it just won't change.
