Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
*Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet
*Turn off the Wand/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions
packed separately.
Protect Components from Overheating
•Don't block ventilation holes on any of the components Arrange the components so that air can
circulate freely.
• Don't stack components.
• If you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it
won't flow around other components.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
•Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack
• If you place components above the IV, route all cables down the side of the back of the I1/instead
of straight down the middle of the IV.
• If your antenna uses 3OO-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the canes. ABo, keep the twin lead
cables away from aud{olvideo cables.
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
Choose the location for your IV carefully. Place the IV on a stand or base that is of adequate size and
strength to prevent the IV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could
cause personal injury andlor damage the IV. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions packed
separately.
Use Indirect Light
Don't place the IV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or
indirect lighting.

Why You Should Connect This G-LINK Cable
TheG-LINKcable enablesthe GUIDEPlus+system (the on-screen interactive
program guide) to work with your VCRand/or cane box
Cable Box - If your IV isconnected to acable box you must connect the
G-LINKcable to receiveIV program listings for your area, andto tune
directly to a channel when the program guide ison your TVscreen.
VCR- If your IV isconnected to aVCRand you don't connect the G-LINK
cane, one-touch VCRrecording won't work Theother features of the guide
will work properly.
How to Find the Remote Sensor
You have to place the G-LIN K wands in front of the remote sensor on the VCRand/
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 andtor 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 IV, but the one that
came with the cable box andtor 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 senson

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be
programmed for your component, turn the component ON.
For example, to program the remote for a VCR, turn on the
VCR. Point the remote at the VCR, and press the VCR button.
Then press ON.OFF or CH + (channel up) or CH - (channel
down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote commands. If
the component does not respond, the remote needs to be
programmed.
Programming the Remote
There are two ways to program the remote control:
• automatic code search
• direct entry

Usingthe Remote Co trol
Using Automatic Code Search
The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each of
your components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without
programming any of your components, press CLEAR until the indicator on the
remote turns off.
1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR or DVD player)
2. Pressand hold the component button you want to program (VCR or DVD).
While holding the component button, press and hold ON.OFF until the
indicator on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.
3, Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY(the indieator light
on the remote flashes).
The remote is searching for the correct code to program. When the indicator
stops flashing ]after about 5 seconds], press PLAY again to tell the remote to
search the next set of codes.
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or the indicator light on
the remote turns off. If the indicator light turns off, then all the codes for that
particular component have been tested once. If the component does not turn
off, then the remote can't be programmed to operate that component.
No_c:Eachtimeyou pressPLAY,the remotesendsabout 10setsof codesTherefore,you

If the component you want to operate does turn off:
1. Pressand release REVERSE,then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the
device turns back ON.
2. To finish, press and hold STOPuntil the indicator on the remote turns off.
Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the component to be programmed.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list in
this section.
3. Pressand hold the component button you want to program on the remote.
4. Enter the code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If the
indicator flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the button isn't
programmable.
5. Release the component button.
6. Point the remote at the component. Press ON.OFF to see if the component
responds to the command. If it doesn't, try pressing the component button and
then ON.OFF again.
• If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your
brand, until the component responds to the remote commands.
• If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the
automatic code search method. If automatic code search doesn't find the code,
the remote is not compatible with your component.
