Chapter 1: Connections and Setup

Connect the cables to the G-LINK and/or IR SAT jacks on the back of the Recorder

If you connected a cable box or satellite receiver to the recorder, you must connect the G-LINK cable (provided) in order for all of the Digital Media Recorder’s features to work correctly.

The G-LINK cable (provided) enables the Digital Media Recorder to control the cable box so you can set up timer recordings. Connecting the G- LINK cable also enables the GUIDE Plus+ system (the on-screen programming guide) to list the correct programs.

1a. If you connected a cable box, insert the G-LINK cable into the G-LINK jack on the back of the Digital Media Recorder.

1b. If you connected a satellite receiver, insert the G-LINK cable into the IR SAT jack on the back of the Digital Media Recorder.

 

2. Connect the other end of the cable (called a wand) in front of the remote sensor that’s on front of the cable

 

box or satellite receiver. Some cable boxes and satellite receivers have the remote sensor labelled, but some

G-LINK cable

don’t. If you see the remote sensor label on your cable box or satellite receiver, go to step 7 (sometimes it’s

 

labeled IR or remote or sensor). If you don’t see a remote sensor label on your cable box or satellite receiver,

 

go to step 3.

3. Turn off the cable box or satellite receiver.

5.Slowly move the remote control in front of the satellite receiver or 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).

6.When the satellite receiver (or cable box) turns on, you’ve located the sensor.

7.Place the wand in front of the remote sensor, approximately one inch away from the remote sensor.
