About the GUIDE Plus+ System
Menu
options
The GUIDE Plus+ system is an interactive on-screen program guide that lists TV
schedules for your area and allows your TV/DVD direct control of a cable box
and/or VCR. You must first set up the GUIDE Plus+ Menu system in order to
view this on-screen program guide (see Chapter 1 for details). Press GUIDE to
bring up the GUIDE Plus+ system.
There are six sections of the GUIDE Plus+ system:
•
A row of Action buttons at the top of the screen (1, 2 and 3)
• Video window
•
Program information
•
A row of menu options (Grid, Sort, News, Schedule, Messages,
Channels, Setup)
•
Channel listings
•
Promotional information
Note: The GUIDE Plus+ system screens illustrated in this book are representations
of what you are likely to see. Not all channels, programs, and GUIDE Plus+
information depicted will be available in your area.
New features and options can be downloaded to the GUIDE Plus+ system, so these
too are subject to change.
Downloading Data
The GUIDE Plus+ system is not available until it completes its first download of
program listings. When the power is turned off, the TV locates a "host channel"
that carries GUIDE Plus+ system data containing program schedule and channel
lineup information. A channel lineup is the list of stations and their respective
channels.
To ensure that your first download of data is complete, you should leave your
TV/DVD off overnight. Downloads occur several times a day. The TV/DVD
must be turned off for GUIDE Plus+ system data to download.
If the TV/DVD loses power or is unplugged, GUIDE Plus+ system program
listings may be lost. When power is restored, make sure the setup information
is still correct. The GUIDE Plus+ system will receive updated program
information during the next scheduled download.
Channel Lineup
If more than one cable company services your area, you may be prompted with
STEP 5: Choosing Your Channel Lineup after the first GUIDE Plus+ system
download. You will need to identify your cable company by selecting the
correct channel numbers for the stations in question.
