Chapter 1: Connections and Setup Connect the cables to the G-LINK and/or IR SAT jacks on the back of the Recorder If you connected a cable box or satellite receiver to the recorder, you must connect the G-LINK cable (provided) in order for all of the DVD Recorder's features to work correctly. The G-LINK cable (provided) enables the DVD Recorder to control the cable box or satellite receiver so you can set up timer recordings. For cable box owners, you have to connect the G-LINK cable so the GUIDE Plus+ system (the on-screen programming guide) can list the correct programs. Note:The GUIDE Plus+ System doesn't interpret information from satellite programming. It only downloads cable TV listings and/or off-air broadcast listings.Therefore, there won't be any program listings in the DVD Recorder's GUIDE Plus+ programming guide if you have satellite service. G-LINK cable: connect it to the G-LINK jack if you have a cable box connected to your DVD Recorder, or connect it to the IRA SAT jack if you have satellite receiver connected to your DVD Recorder 1a. If you connected a cable box, insert the G-LINK cable into the G-LINK jack on the back of the Digital Media Recorder. 1b. If you connected a satellite receiver, insert the G-LINK cable into the IRA SAT jack on the back of the DVD Recorder. 2. Connect the other end of the cable (called a wand) in front of the remote sensor that's on front of the cable box or satellite receiver (see picture at the bottom of this page). Some cable boxes and satellite receivers have the remote sensor labeled, but some don't. If you see the remote sensor label on your cable box or satellite receiver, go to step 7 (sometimes it's labeled IRA or remote or sensor). If you don't see a remote sensor label on your cable box or satellite receiver, go to step 3. 3. Turn off the cable box or satellite receiver. Satellite Receiver Cable Box CHANNEL 03 4.
