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 (one 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 Screensystem:

If you have a Cable box, you need to connect the IR blaster 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 IR blaster 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.
