Connections & Setup
Why You Should Connect This G-LINK Cable
The G-LINK cable enables the GUIDE Plus+ system (the on-screen interactive
program guide) to work with your VCR and/or cable box.
Cable Box – If your TV is connected to a cable box you must connect the G-LINK
cable to receive TV program listings for your area, and to tune directly to a channel
when the program guide is on your TV screen.
VCR – If your TV is connected to a VCR and you don’t connect the G-LINK cable,
one-touch VCR recording won’t work. The other features of the guide will work
properly.

How to Find the Remote Sensor
You have to place the G-LINK wands in front of the remote sensor on the VCR and/or cable box. Some cable
boxes and VCRs have the remote sensor labeled on the unit. If the remote sensor isn’t labeled on your VCR
and/or cable box, you need to use the remote control that came with the VCR and/or cable box to locate the
sensor.
1. Turn off the VCR and/or cable box.
2. Hold the remote control (not the one that came with your TV, but the one that came with the cable box
and/or VCR to which you’re attaching the G-LINK cable) so that it is touching the front of the component.
3. Slowly move the remote control across the front of the component (VCR or cable box) while you press the
power button on and off. You must press and release the power button each time you move the remote
(holding down the button won’t work).
4. When the component turns on, you’ve located the remote sensor .
Placing the G-LINK Wands
Place the G-LINK wands in front of the remote sensor on your
VCR and/or cable box approximately one inch away from the
remote sensor.
Turn on the TV
Press the TV button on the remote control or the POWER button on the TV (the first screen of the Interactive
Setup appears). The menu screens “time out” after a period of time if you don’t make a selection. T
o access the
setup menus manually, pres MENU and choose the SETUP option.
Note: Pressing the TV button not only turns on the TV, but puts the remote into TV mode. “TV mode” means that
the buttons on the remote control operate the TV’s functions.
