Connecting the IR Blaster

The cable box is controlled via the DVD Recorder with the IR Blaster (supplied). This means you can record TV shows that are received only through the cable box.

Connection of the G-LINK cable enables the GUIDE Plus+® system to show the correct guide listing.

1Connect the IR-Blaster to the G-LINKjack at the back of your DVD Recorder.

2Place the IR Blaster in front of the cable box so that the control signal (IR signal) can be transmitted and received by the cable box

without interference.

How do I find the right position?

If the position of the remote (IR) receiver is indicated on your cable box (IR, remote sensor, or the like), place the IR-Blaster about one (1) inch in front of it.

If the position is not indicated, proceed as follows:

1Switch off the cable box.

2Point the remote control at the front of the cable box.

3Move the remote control slowly along the front while repeatedly pressing the on/off button.

4When the cable box switches on, you've found the receiver.

5

Position the IR Blaster about one (1) inch away
