Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

G-LINK connection

This connection is necessary to enable the TV Guide On Screen™ system’s device control and one-touch recording features.

After you connect your devices to the TV (pages 12–24), you will need to connect the G-LINK cable (either of the dual-wand IR blaster cables included with your TV) from your VCR and Cable box (if applicable) to the G-LINK jack on the TV. This connection is necessary to enable the following features of your TV Guide On Screen™ system:

•If you have a Cable box, you need to connect the G-LINK cable from the Cable box to the G-LINK jack to receive the TV Guide On Screen system’s program listings for your Cable service.

•If you have a VCR, you need to connect the G-LINK cable from the VCR to the G-LINK jack to use the TV Guide On Screen system’s one-touch recording feature.

To connect to the G-LINK jack:

1.Locate the infrared sensor on the front of your VCR or Cable box. The sensor is marked on some devices.*

2.Align one of the G-LINK (IR blaster) cable’s wands about 1 inch away from the infrared sensor on the front of the VCR and attach it using the included mounting tape.

If you have a Cable box, attach the other wand in a similar manner. (See illustration at right.)

Note: If you do not have a Cable box, coil the second wand with a rubber band and leave it behind the TV.

3.Plug the G-LINK (IR blaster) cable’s plug into the TV’s G-LINK jack.

3.If the device turns on, the place the remote control touched the device is the location of the sensor.

4.If the device does not turn on, move the remote control slightly to the right and press POWER again.

5.Repeat step 4 until you locate the deviceÕs infrared sensor.
