I would expect that it means tuning to every possible over the air and cable channel it is designed to receive to see what, if anything, is available on each of those frequencies at that input.

It's probably the kind of thing it might do the first time you plug the set in, and can probably be repeated if you wish by finding a command in the menu somewhere that says something about channels and scanning.

It's not really something the remote control would do, it's something the unit controlled by the remote control would do.

What exactly is the problem you're trying to solve?

Why does my Westinghouse tv display "auto scan required" when it is on an outdoor digital antenae and there is no picture

Auto scan programs the channels. Auto scan detects the signal strength of the channel and adds the ones that you can watch.

Please run scan/ how?

You should have a menu button that will get in into the next menu for initial setup. It will be under something like channel search or channel scan.

Lost remote for vr-2218. Trying to do auto channel scan--says to hit ENTER, but without remote, can't do ENTER. I have FIOS, but Verizon remote won't program TV. Any idea what code may be?

Codes listed in my manual for White Westinghouse are 0169 or 0003 or 0014 or 0043. Are yousure though there isn't a flip down panel somewhere which gives you the option to access "enter"

How do I digitally tune my westinghouse TV SK32H24OS. Lost manua

The easiest way might be to unplug the power from the set for several minutes, plug it back in and then run through the setup procedure. You are specifically looking for the channel auto scan function.

LCD 32 inch Auto Scan issue

I have experienced exactly the same issue on two Westinghouse sets. Try turning the set off when it reaches 83%. When I turn mine off and back on, it has saved the channels -- at least the ones it had found before it got hung up.
