DOWNLOADING DATA
The GUIDE Plus+ Gold system is not available until it completes its first download of program information. When the power is turned off, the TV locates a “host channel” that carries GUIDE Plus+ Gold data containing program schedule and channel mapping information. A channel map is the list of stations and their respective channels.
To ensure that your first download of data is complete, you should leave your TV off overnight. Downloads occur several times a day. The TV must be turned off for GUIDE Plus+ Gold data to download.
If the TV loses power or is unplugged, GUIDE Plus+ Gold program information may be lost. When power is restored, make sure the setup information is still correct. The GUIDE Plus+ Gold program will complete a download at the next available time
Channel Mapping
If more than one cable company services your area, you may be prompted with a Channel Mapping screen after the first GUIDE Plus+ Gold download. You will need to identify your cable company by selecting the correct channel numbers for the stations in question.
•Use the left and right arrows to change the channel group and press OK when the correct channel group is highlighted.
