Plug the supplied G-LINK™ cable to

the G-LINK™ jack.

This enables you to control the tuner in the

external receiver using the GUIDE Plus+

®

system.

Position the IR transmitter end of the G-
LINK™ cable so that the IR receiver on your
cable/satellite receiver will pick up the
control signals (see diagram).

See the manual that came with your cable/
satellite receiver if you’re not sure where the
IR receiver is on the front panel.
Alternatively, experiment with the remote
control, operating it from very close range
until you find the place where the receiver
responds.
