Complete the Interactive Setup

The menu system in your TV allows the TV’s features to work properly. We call it the “interactive setup” because the TV asks you questions, you answer, and the TV makes the appropriate adjustments. The first time you turn on your TV, the setup screens appear automatically.

Set the Menu Language

The first part of the SETUP asks you to select your preferred language for the menu system.

1.Highlight your preferred language for the menu system.

2.Press OK to select that language.

Complete Auto Channel Search

The next part of the SETUP asks if you want the TV to search for all available channels. This is sometimes called “auto programming.”

1.Press OK to tell the TV to begin searching for channels. A progress report appears on the screen.

2.When the screen on the TV tells you the search is complete, press OK (the first GUIDE Plus+ system setup screen appears).

Note: If you skip Auto Channel Search now, you can access it later through the Channel menu. See Chapter 4 for more details.

Tip

If you move to a new zip or postal code, or if any of your information changes, you need to access the setup screens from the TV’s main menu— press MENU, choose GUIDE Plus+ Menu, and choose GUIDE Plus+ Setup.

The GUIDE Plus+ System Setup

The GUIDE Plus+ system is an on-screen interactive program guide that lists what shows are on TV in your area. In order to receive program listings, you need to complete the following steps.

The G-LINK cable must be connected to the back of your TV, and the wands must be placed in front of the remote sensor on your cable box and/or VCR in order for the GUIDE Plus+ system to work (go back to page 14 for details).

1.You should see a screen displaying the features of the Guide Plus+ system. Press OK to continue.

2.The next screen asks you to locate setup materials and hardware. Once you have done this, press OK to continue.
