The system uses your postal code to identify which TV
listings data is correct for the area in which you live, so it
is important that you enter it correctly.
4 If you are using an external receiver (such as a
satellite receiver) with the supplied G-LINK cable,
complete this step, otherwise jump to step 5 below.
• See
Connecting to a cable box or satellite receiver
on
page 63 for more on using the supplied G-LINK cable.
• Select
External Receiver 1
,
2
or
3
, then press
ENTER
. (If you have just one external receiver, use
External Receiver 1
. You can add further receivers in

if you need to.)
After pressing
ENTER
:
• Select your reception method (
Terrestrial
,
Cable
or
Satellite
).
• Select your provider (if applicable).
• Select the brand of your external receiver.
• Identify which input your external receiver is
connected to.
After completing these steps the recorder will try and
communicate with your external receiver and change the
channel via the G-LINK cable. If the channel was
successfully changed, select
Yes
to confirm.
If the channel did not change, select
No
. The GUIDE
Plus+ system will try other codes assigned to your
external receiver. If none of the codes changes the
channel successfully, tune your external receiver to the
Host Channel for your country (refer to step
5
below) and
leave it on overnight. The recorder needs to be in standby;
it will wake up automatically and download new codes
from the Host Channel. The next day, try this setup
process again:
• Press
GUIDE
to display the GUIDE Plus+ screen.
• Press
to highlight the Menu bar, then use

reach the Setup area and select Setup.
• Continue setting up from the start of this step again.
If your external receiver still doesn’t respond to the G-
LINK controller, please call customer support and report
the brand and model of your external receiver.

5 Identify the Host Channel for your country.
The TV listings information available in the GUIDE Plus+
system is distributed throughout Europe by selected
broadcasters called
Host Channels
. It is important that
the host (analog) channel for your country is correctly
identified in order to receive listings information (EPG
download).

If you
are not
using an external receiver, this
recorder will automatically scan all channels for the
Host Channel:
• Leave the recorder in standby overnight (do

leave
it switched on).
B
If you
are
using an external receiver, you need to
identify the Host Channel from the table below:
