Information

 

The GUIDE Plus+ system is an interactive on-screen program guide that lists TV schedules for your area and allows your TV direct control of a cable box and/or VCR.

There are six sections of the GUIDE Plus+ system:

Promotional information

Note: The GUIDE Plus+ system screens illustrated in this book are representations of what you are likely to see. Not all channels, programs, and GUIDE Plus+ information depicted will be available in your area.

New features and options can be downloaded to the GUIDE Plus+ system, so these too are subject to change.

Tips

The GUIDE Plus+ system automatically comes up when you use the TV button on the remote to turn on the TV. You can turn off this feature by selecting Setup from the GUIDE Plus+ Menu, selecting Options, then setting Auto Display to Off.

Also, since the program information provided by the GUIDE Plus+ system is based on your locale, you will need to run Setup again if you move to a different zip or postal code.

Downloading Data

Important: If you have a VCR or cable box connected to the TV, you need to connect the G-LINK cable to use the GUIDE Plus+ system. Go to page 15.

The GUIDE Plus+ system is not available until it completes its first download of program listings. When the power is turned off, the TV locates a “host channel” that carries GUIDE Plus+ system data containing program schedule and channel lineup information. A channel lineup is the list of stations and their respective channels.

To ensure that your first download of data is complete, you should leave your TV off overnight. Downloads occur several times a day. The TV must be turned off for GUIDE Plus+ system data to download.

If the TV loses power or is unplugged, GUIDE Plus+ system program listings may be lost. When power is restored, make sure the setup information is still correct. The GUIDE Plus+ system will receive updated program information during the next scheduled download.
