If you are using an external receiver (such as a

on
page 63 for more on using the supplied G-LINK cable.

Cable
or

• Select your provider (if applicable).
• Select the brand of your external receiver.

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

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

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:

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.

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

If you
are
using an external receiver, you need to
