Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

G-LINK™connection

This connection is necessary for the TV Guide On Screen™ system to work with your cable box to receive program listings and to enable TV Guide On Screen recording features with your VCR.

Note: This connection is not necessary for A/V HD or D-VHS recording devices. See pages 23 and 50 for further details.

After you connect your devices to the TV, 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.

Note: TV Guide On Screen program data is available through the ANT-1 and ANT-2 antenna inputs and also through the VIDEO 1 inputs if you have a cable box connected to VIDEO 1. TV Guide On Screen program data is not available through any other inputs on this TV. See the connection information on pages 13–18.

The G-LINK connection is necessary to enable the following features of your TV Guide On Screenª 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 systemÕs 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 systemÕs recording features.

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) cableÕs wands about 1 inch away from the infrared sensor on the front of the VCR and attach it using double-sided mounting tape.

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

3.Plug the G-LINK (IR blaster) cableÕs plug into the TVÕs G-LINK jack.
