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 Digital
Media Recorder’s features to work correctly.
The G-LINK cable (provided) enables the Digital Media Recorder to control the cable box so you can set up timer recordings. Connecting the G-
LINK cable also enables the GUIDE Plus+ system (the on-screen programming guide) to list the correct programs.
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 IR SAT jack on the back of the Digital
Media 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. Some cable boxes and satellite receivers have the remote sensor labelled, 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 IR 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.

4. Hold the satellite receiver remote control or cable box remote control so that it is touching the front of the
satellite receiver or cable box.
5. Slowly move the remote control in front of the satellite receiver or 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).
6. When the satellite receiver (or cable box) turns on, you’ve located the sensor.
7. Place the wand in front of the remote sensor, approximately one inch away from the remote sensor.
