Connecting the IR Blaster
The cable box is controlled via the DVD Recorder with the IR Blaster (supplied). This means you can record TV shows that are received only through the cable box. Connection of the G-LINK cable enables the GUIDE Plus+ system to show the correct guide listing.
Connect the IR-Blaster to the G-LINK jack at the back of your DVD Recorder.
Place the IR Blaster in front of the cable box so that the control signal (IR signal) can be transmitted and received by the cable box without interference.
How do I find the right position? If the position of the remote (IR) receiver is indicated on your cable box (IR, remote sensor, or the like), place the IR-Blaster about one (1) inch in front of it. If the position is not indicated, proceed as follows: 1 Switch off the cable box. 2 Point the remote control at the front of the cable box. 3 Move the remote control slowly along the front while repeatedly pressing the on/off button. 4 When the cable box switches on, you've found the receiver. 5 Position the IR Blaster about one (1) inch away

Confirm with OK. The DVD Recorder will now attempt to use the G-LINK connection to select channel number 09 on the cable box. Has the cable box been switched to channel 09? If so, select 'Yes'. If not, select 'No'.
a My cable box has not switched to the other channel number Check whether the cable box is connected and switched on. 2 Check the connection and position of the IR Blaster. 3 If the connection is OK, select: 'test this code again' for a new attempt. 4 Confirm with OK on the remote control. 5 For a new code, select 'No'. 6 Confirm with OK on the remote control.
a My cable box is not displaying the channel number b On your TV set, select the channel number of the cable box and check the setting on the screen of the TV.
