Connecting the G-LINK™ cable

To download program listings the TV Guide On Screen™ system needs to be able to change channels on your cable box when the recorder is not in use. Please connect the supplied G-LINK™ cable to the G-LINK jack of the recorder. After you connect the G-LINK™ cable you will be able to control your cable box using the recorder’s remote control. To connect the G-LINK™ cable follow the instructions below. Also, if you have a satellite box and you want to use the DSS set top box control function, make this connection between the satellite box and the recorder.

1 Connect the plug of the supplied G-LINK™ cable to the G-LINK jack on the recorder.

2 Place the transmitter near the cable/satellite box connected to the recorder.

2 Transmitter

Secure the G-LINK™ wand underneath the cable/satellite box so that the wand’s IR lens faces the front of cable/satellite box. Ensure the G-LINK™ wand is at a distance of about one inch from the cable/satellite box IR sensor. If you cannot control your cable/ satellite box, try to adjust the distance or put the G-LINK™ wand at another place.

After connecting, make the necessary settings ( page 32).

When you use the recorder for the first time, also make the settings.

Notes

•Do not connect an accessory other than the supplied G-LINK™ cable to the G-LINK jack.

•Do not cover the transmitter.

•The TV Guide On Screen™ interactive program guide supports cable-ready and cable box as well as over-the-air broadcast. It does not provide listings for satellite services. TV Guide program data and schedules are updated daily through your antenna or cable system once you have completed the TV Guide On Screen™ setup.

•Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected cable/satellite box as well.

•Power off the recorder overnight or when not in use to allow the TV Guide On Screen™ system to receive and update its

listings. If a cable box is connected to this recorder, leave the cable box turned on at all times.

Program listings should start displaying within 24 hours after setting up the TV Guide On Screen™ system ( page 32).
