recording features. Once you setup the G-LINK (IR Blaster) connector, then you can use your HITACHI LCD TV Remote Control and the TV Guide On Screen system to control your cable box and VCR

recording features.

The LCD Television Rear Panel has IR OUT/G-LINK terminals. One IR Blaster cable can connect up to

2 external Audio/Video components. Please see the following example of a G-LINK setup between your

HITACHI LCD Television and external Audio/Video equipment (VCR and Cable box).
