Why You Should Connect the G-LINK Cable

The G-LINK cable enables the GUIDE Plus+ system (the on-screen interactive program guide) to work with your VCR and/or cable box.

Cable Box – If your TV is connected to a cable box, you must connect the G-LINK cable to receive TV program listings for your area and to tune directly to a channel when the program guide is on your TV screen.

VCR – If your TV is connected to a VCR and you don’t connect the G-LINK cable, one-touch VCR recording won’t work. The other features of the guide will work properly, however.

Tips

If you have both VCR and cable box, it doesn’t matter which wand is connected to which box.

If you don’t have both a cable box and a VCR connected to your TV, just coil the cable of the extra G-LINK wand with a twist tie and leave it behind the TV.

How to Find the Remote Sensor

You have to place the G-LINK wands in front of the remote sensor on the VCR and/or cable box. Some cable boxes and VCRs have the remote sensor labeled on the unit. If the remote sensor isn’t labeled on your VCR and/or cable box, you need to use the remote control that came with the VCR and/or cable box to locate the sensor.

1.Turn off the VCR and/or cable box.

2.Hold the remote control (not the one that came with your TV, but the one that came with the cable box and/or VCR to which you’re attaching the G-LINK cable) so that it is touching the front of the component.

3.Slowly move the remote control across the front of the component (VCR 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).

4.When the component turns on, you’ve located the VCR’s or cable box’s remote sensor.

Placing the G-LINK Wands

Place the G-LINK wands in front of the remote sensor on your VCR and/or cable box approximately one inch away from the remote sensor (see instructions below).
