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

•This connection is not necessary for AVHD 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™terminal on the TV.

Note: TV Guide On Screenª 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 Screenª program data is not available through any other inputs on this TV. See the connection information on pages 13Ð25.

The G-LINK™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™terminal to receive the TV Guide On Screen™ 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™terminal to use the TV Guide On Screen™ recording features.

To connect to the G-LINKªterminal: Front of Cable box

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 double-sided 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™terminal.
