St e p 5: Co n n e c t t h e G-LIN K Ca b l e
This is an important step because the G-LINK cable enables your TV/VCR
and the GUIDE Plus+ system (the on-screen guide that lists what shows
are on TV) to work with your cable box. The G-LINK cable will not work
until the GUIDE Plus+ system is set up. (Setting up the GUIDE Plus+
system is explained in “Step 8: Set Up the GUIDE Plus+ System,” later in
this section.)
Note that you must remove the demo pin
from the G-LINK jack on the back of the
TV/VCR before inserting the G-LINK cable.
If you do not have a cable box, you do not have to connect the cable. If
your TV is connected to a cable box, you must connect the G-LINK cable
to your cable control box, complete the TV/VCR menu setup, and
activate auto-programming. Unless you complete these steps, no
channels will be listed in the on-screen program guide and your TV will
not work properly.
Fin d t h e Re m o t e Co n t r o l Se n so r
You have to attach the G-LINK cable’s end to the remote control sensor
on the cable box. Some cable boxes have a label attached to it that
identifies the remote control sensor. If the remote sensor isn’t labeled on
your cable box, you need to use the remote control that came with the
cable box to locate the sensor. To do this:
1. Turn off the cable box.
2. Hold the remote control (n o t the one that came with your TV/VCR,
but the one that ca m e w it h the cable box) so it is touching the
front of the component.
Tip
You may w ant to use a piece of clear
plastic tape to temporarily affix the G-LINK
cable end until you have completed the
connection. That w ay you can easily move
it if you have not placed it correctly over
the sensor.
3. Slowly move the remote control across the front of the 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).

5. Attach the end of the G-LINK cable to your cable box (see
instructions below).

Attach the end of the G-LINK cable to your cable box as shown in the

St e p 8 : Se t u p t h e GUIDE PIUS+ Sy s t e m
If you move or if any of your information
changes:
You can set up the GUIDE Plus+ system to display your local program
listings and control your cable box. If you are using a cable box and do
not set up the GUIDE Plus+ system, your TV/VCR will not work properly.
1. Return to the GUIDE Plus+ setup and
reinitialize the setup to indicate that
you are no longer using a cable box.
(You must clear the previous channel
lock before re-setting the TV/VCR.)
The GUIDE Plus+ Setup appears when you turn on your TV/VCR for the
first time.
2. Press MENU on the remote to
display the TV/VCR Main Menu.
•
The GUIDE Plus+ system is the on-screen guide that lists what shows
are on TV in your area. In order to get program information, you
need to set up the GUIDE Plus+ information.
3. Press 5, then 1 to initiate Auto Channel
Search.
4. When the Auto Channel Search is

To complete GUIDE Plus+ setup, the G-LINK cable must be properly
attached to your cable box if you have one. See “Step 5: Connect the
G-LINK Cable,” later in this section.
Select your country and enter your ZIP
or Postal code. For Canada, use
CH ^ and v to select letters.
The next series of screens asks you
about your cable TV setup. If you have
a cable box, you must set the GUIDE
Plus+ system to control it. Otherwise,
it will not be able to locate and
download program information.
Tune your cable box to Channel 2 and
then select the brand of your cable
box from the choices available. The
system then searches for the correct
code to control your cable box. When
your cable box switches to channel 9 it
has located the correct code.
Select Yes if the cable box changed to channel 9, or No if it did not. If you select No, the system will try another code.
If the GUIDE Plus+ system cannot recognize your cable box after several tries, a screen stating “Cable Box test failed...Please
consult your manual and try again” appears. Choose either Try Again or Skip Cable Box Setup. If you get this message, you
should also:
•
•
Double check the brand of your cable box, and try entering it again.
Check to make sure the G-LINK cable is attached correctly.
If you choose to skip the cable box setup some features of the guide may not be available until you successfully complete
this procedure.

Pa r e n t a l Co n t r o l s a n d V-Ch ip
The Parental Controls menu allows you to program your TV/VCR so that children cannot see certain programs.
The first three choices in the Parental Controls menu involve a feature inside your TV/VCR called V-Chip which allows you to
“block” TV programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children should not view. In
other words, it lets you program your TV so it will not display certain programs. Once you block programs, you or other
adults are not limited to only parent-approved programs; you can “unblock” programs by entering a password.
The V-Chip inside your TV/VCR comes turned “off,” so if you choose not to implement it, you can just ignore it.
When turned “on,” the V-Chip reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the V-Chip the
program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes (Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc.). If you have
blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains, you will receive the message, “This channel is not
approved for viewing,” when you turn to that particular channel. Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes,
so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating. You can also block
out programs that have not been given a rating, and programs that are considered “unrated” because no code has been
sent by the broadcaster.
The age-based ratings and content themes you can block are listed in the table below.
Age-Based Rating
Description and Content Themes for Age-Based Ratings
Mature Audience Only. This program is specifically designed to be viewed by adults and
may be unsuitable for children under 17. It contains one or more of the following content
themes: graphic violence (V), explicit sexual activity (S), or crude indecent language (L).
TV-MA
Parents Strongly Cautioned. This program contains some material that many parents would
find unsuitable for children under 14. Parents are strongly urged to exercise greater care in
monitoring this program and are cautioned against letting children under the age of 14 watch
unattended. This program contains one or more of the following content themes: intense
violence (V), intense sexual situations (S), strong coarse language (L), or intensely
suggestive dialogue (D).
TV-14
Parental Guidance Suggested. This program contains material that parents may find
unsuitable for younger children. Many parents may want to watch it with their younger
children. The program contains one or more of the following content themes: moderate
violence (V), some sexual situations (S), infrequent coarse language (L), or some
suggestive dialogue (D).
TV-PG
General Audience. Most parents would find this program suitable for all ages. It contains
little or no violence (V), no strong language (L) and little or no sexual dialogue (D) or
situations (S).
TV-G
Directed to Children 7 years and older. This program is designed for children ages 7 and
above. It may be more appropriate for children who have acquired the developmental skills
needed to distinguish between make-believe and reality. Themes and elements in this
program may include mild fantasy violence (FV) or comedic violence, or may frighten
children under the age of 7.
TV-Y7
All Children. This program is designed to be appropriate for all children. The themes and
elements in this program are designed for a young audience, including children from ages
2-6. This program is not expected to frighten younger children.

You can automatically block all program ratings above a specified
age-based rating level. For example, if you only want your child to

you want the child to watch is TV-G).
3. Press 2 to change the rating status from View (V) to Block (B). The
