Connections & Setup
Step 2: Configuring for Cable
The next series of screens asks you about your cable setup.
If you use a cable box, you will need to identify the channel you tune your TV to when using the cable box,
and the brand of cable box.
If your brand is not listed, choose Not Listed to run the test.
Follow the on-screen instructions to test your cable box.
Step 3: Configuring for a VCR
The next series of screens asks you about your VCR setup.
If you connected a VCR to the TV, you will need to follow the on-screen instructions to select your brand of
VCR and run a system test so that the one-touch record feature will work properly.
Notes:
If your VCR brand isn’t listed, choose the Not Listed option.
Leave the cable box on to download program listings. Leave your VCR off to record programs with the Guide Plus+ One-Touch
Record feature.
Step 4: Confirming Your Settings
•
Check to make sure all settings are complete and correct. If all settings are complete, highlight Yes, end
setup and press OK. If your cable box and/or VCR code testing failed, you should see INCOMPLETE where
the cable box and VCR codes are listed. Once setup is complete, additional screens appear.
If any settings are incomplete or incorrect, highlight No, repeat setup process and press OK. Follow the
instructions on the screen.
• You can choose to view a demo of the GUIDE Plus+ features, which may take a few minutes to load. If
you don’t want to see the demo right now, press OK to watch TV.
Downloading Data
The GUIDE Plus+ system is not available until it completes its first download of program information. To
ensure that your first download of data is complete, you should leave your TV off overnight. If you use a
cable box, be sure to leave it on. Downloads occur several times a day. The TV must be turned off for GUIDE
Plus+ system data to download.
What to Expect
The next time you turn on your TV, the GUIDE Plus+ system will appear on the screen. The following examples explain what you might see:
• If all of the program information has been sent to your TV, the GUIDE Plus+ system appears with all of your TV program listings.
• If the program information hasn’t been sent to your TV yet, an outline of the GUIDE (without TV program listings) will appear on the screen.
Program information is usually sent to your TV at night.
• If the TV detected that you have multiple cable companies in your area, you will need to select a channel lineup.
Features of the GUIDE Plus+ system are explained in Chapter 3.
To clear the guide from your screen, press CLEAR or GUIDE on the remote control.
