STEP 5: CONNECT THE G-LINK CABLE

This isan important step because the G-LINK cable enables your TV/VCR

and the GUIDE Plus+ system (the on-screen guide that lists what shows
are on TV) to work with your cable box. The G-LINK cable wiff not work

until the GUIDE Plus+ system is set up. (Setting up the GUIDE Plus+

system is explained in "Step 8: Set Up the GUIDE Plus+ System," later in
this section.)

if you do not have a cable box, you do not have to connect the cable. If
your TV isconnected to a cable box, you must connect the G-LINK cable
to your cable control box, complete the TV/VCR menu setup, and
activate auto-programming. Unless you complete these steps, no
channels wffl be ffsted in the on-screen program guide and your TV wi]]

not work properly.

FIND THE REMOTE CONTROL SENSOR

You have to attach the G-LINK cable's end to the remote control sensor
on the cable box. Some cable boxes have a label attached to it that

identifies the remote control sensor. If the remote sensor isn't labeled on
your cable box, you need to use the remote control that came with the

cable box to locate the sensor. To do this:

1. Turn off the cable box.

from the G-LINK jack on the back of the

I Note that you must remove the demo pin |

TV/VCR before inserting the G-LINK cable.

J

2.

Hold the remote control (not the one that came with your TV/VCR,
but the one that came with the cable box) so it is touching the

front of the component.

3.

Slowly move the remote centre] across the front of the cable box
while you press the power button on and off. You must press and

release the power button each time you move the remote (holding

down the button won't work).

4.

When the cable box turns on, you've located the remote control
sensor.

5.

Attach the end of the G-LINK cable to your cable box (see

instructions below).

ATTACH THE END TO THE CABLE BOX

Tip

You may want to use a piece of clear
plastic tape to temporarily affix the G-LINK
cable end until you have completed the
connection. That way you can easily move
it if you have not placed it correctly over

the sensor.

Attach the end of the G-LINK cable to your cable box as shown in the

illustration to the right.

8

Connect to G_LINKjack
on the back of the TV/VCR.

STEP 6: PLUG IN THE TV/VCR

Plug the power cord into the wall outlet, matching the wide blade of
the plug with the wide slot in the outlet. Be sure to insert the plug
completely.

STEP 7: TURN ON THE TV/VCR

Press POWER on the front of the TV/VCR or press TV or VCR on the

remote. The indicator in the POWER button on the front of the TV/VCR
will light when the TV/VCR ison.

The first time you turn on the TV/VCR, you will be asked to set up the
GUIDE Plus+ system.

STEP 8: SET UP THE GUIDE Plus+ SYSTEM

You can set up the GUIDE Plus+ system to display your local program

listings and control your cable box. If you are using a cable box and do

not set up the GUIDE Plus+ system, your TV/VCR will not work properly.
The GUIDE Plus+ Setup appears when you turn on your TV/VCR for the

first time.

The GUIDE Plus+ system is the on-screen guide that lists what shows
are on TV in your area. In order to get program information, you

need to set up the GUIDE Plus+ information.

The G-LINK cable must be connected to the back of your TV/VCR,
and the other end must be attached to your cable box (if you have

one) in order for the GUIDE Plus+ Setup to work.

If you move or if any of your information

changes:

1. Return to the GUIDE Plus+ setup and
reinitialize the setup to indicate that
you are no longer using a cable box.
(You must clear the previous channel
lock before re-setting the TV/VCR.)

2. Press MENU on the remote to
display the TV/VCR Main Menu.

3. Press 5, then 1to initiate Auto Channel
Search.

4. When the Auto Channel Search is
complete, press MENU.

5. Press 6, then 1to create a new setup.
(See "Step 8: Set Up the GUIDE Plus+
System," at left, for more details.)

9

To complete GUIDE Plus+ setup, the G-LINK cable must be properly
attached to your cable box if you have one. See "Step 5: Connect the

G-LINK Cable," later in this section.

Select your country and enter your ZIP
or Postal code. For Canada, use

CH ^ and v to select letters.

The next series of screens asks you
about your cable TV setup. If you have
a cable box, you must set the GUIDE

Plus+ system to control it. Otherwise,
it will not be able to locate and

download program information.

Tune your cable box to Channel 2 and
then select the brand of your cable

box from the choices available. The

system then searches for the correct
code to control your cable box. When
your cable box switches to channel 9 it

has located the correct code.

Select Yes if the cable box changed to channel 9, or No if it did not. If you select No, the system will try another code.
If the GUIDE Plus+ system cannot recognize your cable box after several tries, a screen stating "Cable Box test failed...Please
consult your manual and try again" appears. Choose either TryAgain or Skip Cable Box Setup. If you get this message, you

should also:

• Double check the brand of your cable box, and try entering it again.

• Check to make sure the G-LiNK cable is attached correctly.
If you choose to skip the cable box setup some features of the guide may not be available until you successfully complete

this procedure.

10

Once the correct model of cable box
has been identified, you need to set

the cable box's output channel.
Enter the channel you use to view
channels through your cable box--
usually 3 or 4. Consult your cable
box's instruction book or your cable
company if you are not sure. Choose

0to use VIDEO INPUT.
The last screen comes up when

you've successfully finished the
GUIDE Plus+ setup.

Remember:

• Leave your cable box turned ON to download program
information. Downloading may take 24 hours.

Press OK to leave the GUIDE Plus+ Setup and return to the TV's Main
Menu. See the section "Features and Controls" for more details about

the GUIDE Plus+ system.

To Get Out of the GUIDE Plus+ System:

• Press OK to exit the GUIDE Plus+ system and tune to the
highlighted channel.

• Press GUIDE to exit the GUIDE Plus+ system and tune to the channel
displayed in the background.

• Press CLEAR to exit the GUIDE Plus+ system and go to the last
channel you were watching.
