To get TV stations over the air on your Sony Bravia LCD Color TV KDL-46S4100, you need to follow these steps:


Connect an antenna to the TV's RF input port. Make sure the antenna is properly installed and connected.

Press the "Input" button on the remote control and select "TV" from the list of input sources.

Press the "Menu" button on the remote control and select "Channel" from the menu options.

Select "Auto Program" and press "OK." The TV will scan for available channels and add them to the channel list.

Once the scan is complete, you can select a channel from the channel list by pressing the "Channel Up" or "Channel Down" button on the remote control.


NOTE: If the auto program does not find any channels, make sure the antenna is properly installed and connected, and try the scan again. If you still have trouble receiving channels, you may need to upgrade your antenna or consult a professional for further assistance.

To receive TV stations over the air on your Sony Bravia LCD TV KDL46S4100, you will need an antenna that is compatible with your TV. Here are the steps to follow:


Connect the antenna to your TV's coaxial port. Make sure the antenna is securely connected to your TV.


Turn on your TV and press the "Menu" button on your remote control.


Use the arrow buttons on your remote to navigate to the "Channels" option and select it.


Choose "Auto Program" or "Auto Scan" to let your TV search for available channels. The TV will scan for channels and store them in the TV's memory.


Once the scan is complete, you should be able to access the available channels by pressing the "Channel Up" or "Channel Down" button on your remote control.


If you have any trouble receiving channels, make sure your antenna is properly connected and positioned for optimal reception. You can also try re-scanning for channels or adjusting your antenna's position. Additionally, make sure your TV is set to receive over-the-air signals rather than cable or satellite signals in the TV's settings.

To get TV stations over the air on your Sony Bravia LCD color TV (model KDL46S4100), you need to connect an antenna to the TV and scan for channels. Here are the steps to do this:
  1. Connect an antenna: Connect an antenna to the TV using a coaxial cable. You can use an indoor or outdoor antenna, depending on your location and signal strength.
  2. Turn on the TV: Turn on the TV and press the "Input" button on the remote control to select "TV".
  3. Scan for channels: Press the "Menu" button on the remote control and select "Channel" from the on-screen menu. Select "Auto Program" or "Auto Scan" and press the "Enter" button. The TV will now scan for available channels and store them in the TV's memory.
  4. View channels: Once the scan is complete, you can view the available channels by pressing the "Channel Up" or "Channel Down" button on the remote control.

If the TV is unable to find any channels, you may need to reposition the antenna or try a different one. You can also try to improve the signal strength by adding an amplifier to the antenna.
