Guide Plus+ Faq And Troubleshooting - Pioneer DVR-54HX-S Operating Instructions And Owner's Manual

Using the GUIDE Plus+® electronic program guide
Manual Host Channel setup
The GUIDE Plus+ system will automatically
identify your Host Channel as soon as the
recorder is put into standby for the first time.
See the table on page 42 for a list of all the
European Host Channels.
If you know your Host Channel details
(source and program number) or if the
automatic identification did not provide the
expected result, you can identify your Host
Channel manually. Select Host Channel
Setup in the Setup area and follow the
instructions on the TV. Select the correct
source (e.g., internal tuner or external
receiver) and enter the respective program
number (e.g., if you have to press 9 on the
remote to watch your Host Channel, enter 9
as the program number). When you next
switch the recorder into standby the GUIDE
Plus+ system will complete the Host
Channel setup.
You can reset the Host Channel settings at
any time back to the default setting of
automatic. Please be aware that resetting
the Host Channel will erase all TV listings
data.

FAQ
• When I tried setting up my external
receiver I could not get any of the
attempts to work, what should I do?
A: There could be several reasons why
your external receiver could not be
controlled.
– The connections could be wrong. Make
sure that the G-LINK cable is connected
to the G-LINK connector on the recorder
and the IR blaster is in front of the
external receiver, pointing towards the
IR receiver of your external receiver. See
Connecting to a cable box or satellite
receiver on page 19.
– The code that is listed under your
brand could be wrong. Please try other
codes for your brand under satellite,
cable or terrestrial. Go to the Setup Area
and choose one of the three options
(cable, satellite or terrestrial) that you
have not already tried. Follow the on-
screen prompts to make sure that the
GUIDE Plus+ system can change
channels on your external receiver. If it
does not work, repeat the process,
choosing different reception and
external receiver combinations until you
have tried all the codes for your brand of
receiver that are already in the GUIDE
Plus+ system. If it still does not work,
see below on how to receive new codes
overnight.
– The unit has not yet received new
codes. The nightly data downloads
frequently include new codes for
controlling external receivers. Please
tune your external receiver to your local
