SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

STEP 5: CONNECT THE G-LINK CABLE

This is an important step because the G-LINK cable enables your TV/VCR and the GUIDE Plus+ system (the on-screen guide that lists what shows are on TV) to work with your cable box. The G-LINK cable will not work until the GUIDE Plus+ system is set up. (Setting up the GUIDE Plus+ system is explained in “Step 8: Set Up the GUIDE Plus+ System,” later in this section.)

If you do not have a cable box, you do not have to connect the cable. If your TV is connected to a cable box, you must connect the G-LINK cable to your cable control box, complete the TV/VCR menu setup, and activate auto-programming. Unless you complete these steps, no channels will be listed in the on-screen program guide and your TV will not work properly.

FIND THE REMOTE CONTROL SENSOR

You have to attach the G-LINK cable’s end to the remote control sensor on the cable box. Some cable boxes have a label attached to it that identifies the remote control sensor. If the remote sensor isn’t labeled on your cable box, you need to use the remote control that came with the cable box to locate the sensor. To do this:

1.Turn off the cable box.

2.Hold the remote control (not the one that came with your TV/VCR, but the one that came with the cable box) so it is touching the front of the component.

3.Slowly move the remote control across the front of the 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).

Note that you must remove the demo pin from the G-LINK jack on the back of the TV/VCR before inserting the G-LINK cable.

Tip

You may want to use a piece of clear plastic tape to temporarily affix the G-LINK cable end until you have completed the connection. That way you can easily move it if you have not placed it correctly over the sensor.

4.When the cable box turns on, you’ve located the remote control sensor.

5.Attach the end of the G-LINK cable to your cable box (see instructions below).
