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-LINKªconnection is necessary to enable the following features of your TV Guide On Screenª system:

¥If you have a VCR, you need to connect the G-LINKªcable from the VCR to the G-LINKªterminal to use the TV Guide On Screenª 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.*
