Step 3: Connect the G-LINK Cable

The G-LINK cable enables the GUIDE Plus+ system (the on-screen guide
that lists what shows are on TV) to work with your VCR and/or cable box.
Cable Box – If your TV is connected to a cable box and you don't
connect the G-LINK cable, no channels will be listed in the on-screen
program guide.
VCR – If your TV is connected to a VCR and you don't connect the G-LINK
cable, one-touch recording won't work. The other features of the guide
will work properly.

How to Find the Remote Control Sensor

You have to place the G-LINK wands in front of the remote control
sensor on the VCR and/or cable box. Some cable boxes and VCRs have
the remote control 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
connecting the G-LINK cable) so 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 control
sensor.
5. Place the wands of the G-LINK cable underneath your VCR and/or
cable box (see instructions on right).
The G-LINK cable is used to send commands to
your VCR and/or cable box.
If there is a demo pin in the G-LINK jack, you must
remove it before you connect the G-LINK cable. If
there is no demo pin, just insert the G-LINK cable
into the G-LINK jack.
