About the GUIDE Plus+ System
The GUIDE Plus+ system is a no-fee, on-screen program guide that lists
TV schedules for your area and allows your TV direct control of a cable
box and/or VCR. You must first set up the GUIDE Plus+ system in order
to view this on-screen program guide (see Chapter 1 for details).
There are six sections of the GUIDE Plus+ system:
•A video window
• Blue and Green Action buttons at the top of the screen
• Program information
• Promotional information
• Channel listings
• Menu options (Listings, Sort, News, Messages, Promotions, Schedule,
Channels, Setup)
Notes: If you have cable and air signals, connect cable to Antenna
A. If you have air signal only, connect it to Antenna A. Antenna A is
where the GUIDE Plus+ system gets its Listings.
Whenever the GUIDE Plus+ system is activated in the TV, the last-
viewed channel of Antenna A appears in the video window.
The GUIDE Plus+ system screens illustrated in this book are
representations of what you are likely to see. Not all channels,
programs, and GUIDE Plus+ information depicted will be available
in your area. New features and options can be downloaded to the
GUIDE Plus+ system, so these are subject to change also. The GUIDE
Plus+ system doesn’t display program listings for satellite TV.
Tips
The GUIDE Plus+ system automatically comes up when
you use the TV or ON/OFF button on the remote to
turn on the TV. You can turn off this feature by
selecting Setup from the GUIDE Plus+ menu options,
selecting Options, then setting Auto Display to Off.
Also, since the program information provided by the
GUIDE Plus+ system is based on your locale, you will
need to run Setup again if you move to a different ZIP
or postal code.
