Key Features Overview

Your TV is equipped with features that will add to your TV viewing experience. The following information summarizes a few of these features. Chapter 3 provides more information about the rest of the TV’s features and how to use them.

On-screen Program Guide

Description: The GUIDE Plus+ system is an on-screen interactive list of programs and information that is built into your TV. You can scroll through the guide to see what’s on and tune directly to that program from the guide. You can also browse programs by category with the sort feature.

When you access the News feature, MSNBC will appear in your video window if it’s available through your TV.

One-Touch VCR Recording is another benefit of the GUIDE Plus+ system. You don’t have to remember to program your VCR or use the menus in your VCR to set up a recording.

Requirements:

Remove the Demo Pin from the G-LINK jack.

Complete the on-screen interactive setup. You’ll find detailed instructions in Chapter 1.

One-Touch VCR Recording: You must connect the G-LINK cable to the TV and place one of the wands in front of the remote sensor on the VCR.

If you have a cable box, connect the G-LINK cable to the TV and place one of the wands in front of the remote sensor on the cable box.
