Setting Up The Guide Plus+™ System - Pioneer RCS-404H Operating Instructions Manual

Getting started
Setting up the GUIDE Plus+™ system
The GUIDE Plus+™ system is a free, interactive on-
screen television programming guide. The system offers
program listings for all major channels, one-touch
recording, search by genre, recommendations according
to your profile and more.
For the GUIDE Plus+ system to function correctly, it is
important that you set the language and country
correctly in the Setup Navigator, and that you have
performed a scan for available channels, as these are all
used by the GUIDE Plus+ system. If any of these things
are not yet set, please run the Setup Navigator first (see
Switching on and setting up on page 59).
TV listings information is received via 'host channels'. In
order to receive the correct TV listings information for
your country or region you need to set up the GUIDE
Plus+ system and 'download' the TV listings information.
The initial download can take up to 24 hours, but once
this is done, all future updates are automatic.
1 Display the GUIDE Plus+ setup menu.

The system uses your postal code to identify which TV
listings data is correct for the area in which you live, so it
is important that you enter it correctly.
4 If you are using an external receiver (such as a
satellite receiver) with the supplied G-LINK cable,
complete this step, otherwise jump to step 5 below.
• See Connecting to a cable box, satellite receiver or
digital terrestrial receiver on page 52 for more on using
the supplied G-LINK cable.
• Select External Receiver 1, 2 or 3, then press
ENTER. (If you have just one external receiver, use
External Receiver 1. You can add further receivers in
2 and 3 if you need to.)
After pressing ENTER:
• Select your reception method (Terrestrial, Cable or
Satellite).
• Select your provider (if applicable).
• Select the brand of your external receiver.
• Identify which input your external receiver is
connected to.
After completing these steps the recorder will try and
communicate with your external receiver and change the
channel via the G-LINK cable. If the channel was
successfully changed, select Yes to confirm.
