(Remove the Demo Pin first if it is still attached to the G- LINK jack.) Place the sensor of the G-Link cable in front of the Cable Box so it faces the remote sensor of your Cable Box. The G-Link cable’s sensor should be within one inch of the front of your Cable Box.

Connect the supplied power cord to the MAINS (AC Power) jack on the rear of the DVD Recorder. Connect the power cords of the DVD Recorder, Cable Box, and TV to a power outlet.

•Your TV’s Audio/Video In channel may be called AUX or AUXILIARY IN, AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or External In, etc., and may be near channel zero (0). See your TV manual for details. Your TV’s remote may have a button or switch that selects Video In channels. Or, go to your lowest TV channel and change TV channels down until you see the blue Philips DVD background picture or the Initial Setup Screen on the TV (when the DVD Recorder is on).

•If you have a Satellite Receiver, the hookup resembles that of a Cable Box. However, you cannot use the GUIDE Plus+® System, so do not connect the G-Link cable.
