Preparation before the

GUIDE Plus+ setup

• Complete the connection of your equip-
ment (the Recorder, TV, aerial, external
tuner if applicable). See page 23 for basic
connection. Please note that if you use an
external receiver (such as Satellite tuner),
you have to connect the plug of G-LINK
cable to the back of the Recorder and
place the other end in front of the tuner.
This will allow you to control the tuner of the
receiver through the GUIDE Plus+ system.
• Complete the setup of the Recorder. It is
important that "AUTO INSTALLATION" has
been done to install all available channels.

Receiver
If you receive all your TV channels through
a standard (analogue) terrestrial aerial or
through cable without using an external
receiver, follow the procedure below.

GUIDE Plus+ setup menu screen.

Leave the Recorder in
"STANDBY" overnight to receive
the TV listings data.
• The GUIDE Plus+ system is automati-
cally "scanning" all your channels to
identify the correct host channel
during a pre-defined timeslot.
Depending on your region this may
take up to 24 hours, because in some
areas data is only available during
certain timeslots.
• All other actions like "recording" or
"watching" have priority over the
"scanning (automatic receiving of
data)". Therefore it is important to
leave the Recorder in standby (not
"ON").
• All future downloads will happen
automatically.

• The G-LINK transmitter must be connected
and placed in front of your external receiver
so that its infrared detector can receive a

Alternatively you can use the receivers
remote control and move it slowly from left

switched to the respective channel you
have located the infrared detector. Or you
use a flash light and look behind the glass
screen of the box. The infrared detector
looks like a small red light bulb.
