Chapter 1: Connections and Setup

3d. Confirming Your Settings

Once you’ve finished the GUIDE Plus+ Setup, a screen appears listing the pertinent information you’ve given. Check to make sure all settings are complete and correct.

Note: If the cable box test failed, you should see INCOMPLETE next to the Cable

Box category.

If all of the settings are accurate, highlight Yes, end setup, and press OK.

If any settings are incomplete or incorrect, highlight No, repeat setup process, and press OK. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the setup.

If you didn’t connect a satellite receiver, go to step 5

If you connected a satellite receiver, go to step 4

4) Satellite Receiver

If you connected a satellite receiver to the Digital Media Recorder, the IR Control cable must be connected to the back of your Digital Media Recorder (IR SAT) and the other end of the cable must be placed in front of the remote sensor on the satellite receiver in order for the Digital Media Recorder to control the satellite receiver for Timer Recordings.

Follow the on-screen instructions to select your satellite receiver brand. If your brand isn’t listed, highlight Not Listed.

After you complete the on-screen satellite receiver setup, the Digital Media

Recorder will perform a box test — follow the on-screen instructions.

5) Channel Search

The Digital Media Recorder automatically scans the signal coming through the cable connected to the RF ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT or the INPUT jacks, and prepares the channel list. The channel list determines what channels appear when you press the channel up and down buttons.

A progress indicator appears on the TV screen. When the Channel Search reaches 100%, press OK (the Channel List appears)

6) Channel List

From the Channel List, you can delete channels you rarely watch. You’ll still be able to tune to the channels directly by using the number buttons on the remote control, but the Digital Media Recorder won’t tune to a channel you delete when you press the channel up and/or down buttons on the remote control.

Press the down arrow button to scroll through the channels. A checkmark in the box next to the channel means it has been stored in the channel list. Follow the on-screen instructions to delete a channel in the list, or add one that isn’t in the list. You can also label channels by pressing the INFO button.

To skip editing the channel list, press the right arrow button.

7) Time and Date

You must set up the clock accurately in order for Timer Recordings to work.

Use the number buttons on the remote to enter Year, Date, and Time. To change the AM/PM setting when you’re entering the Time, press the right arrow button.
