My Zenith Sentry 2 19" color set has those F and S selections as well, in an on-screen display. However, on my set the words are spelled out on-screen; otherwise the functions are the same as in Bryan's set. This control sets the automatic fine tuning mode; fixed is used for normal TV reception, while search is used when the TV is connected to a video game or other device that outputs a signal on a non-standard frequency. The search mode enables the tuner to find the exact frequency of the output signal from the game's RF modulator.
