Getting In & Out of the Guide PiUS+ System
To enter the GUIDE Plus+ system, press GUIDE on the remote.
There are three ways to exit the GUIDE Plus+ system:
• Press OK to exit the GUIDE Plus+ system and tune to the channel
highlighted in the Channel listing.
• Press GUIDE to exit the GUIDE Plus+ system and tune to the
channel displayed in the background.
• Press CLEAR to exit the GUIDE Plus+ system and return to the
last channel you were watching.
Downloading Data
The GUIDE Plus+ system is not available until it completes its first
download of Program information. When the power is turned off, the
TV locates a “host channel” that carries GUIDE Plus+ data containing
Program schedule and Channel Mapping information. (A channel map
is the list of stations and their respective channels.)
To ensure that your first download of data is complete, you should
leave your TV off overnight. Downloads occur several times a day. The
TV must be turned off for GUIDE Plus+ data to download.
If the TV loses power or is unplugged, GUIDE Plus+ Program
information may be lost. When power is restored, make sure the setup
information is still correct. The GUIDE Plus+ system will complete a
download at the next available opportunity.
Channel Mapping
If more than one cable company services your area, you may be
prompted with a Channel Mapping screen after the first GUIDE Plus+
download. You will need to identify your cable company by selecting
the correct channel numbers for the stations in question.
• Use the left and right arrows to change the channel group and
press OK when the correct channel group is highlighted.
The Different Guide PIUS+ system Menus
The GUIDE Plus+ system offers seven different options on the Menu
bar: Grid, Sort, News, Schedule, Messages, Editor, and Setup. To access
the Menu bar:
1. Press GUIDE to bring up the GUIDE Plus+ screen.
2. Press MENU or use the up and down arrows to highlight the
Menu bar. The Grid guide comes up by default.
3. Use the left and right arrows to access other menus.
4. Press OK, MENU, or use the down arrow to access the Menu
options.
Press GUIDE on the remote control to see the
GUIDE Plus+ system. To remove the program guide
from the screen, press OK, GUIDE, or CLEAR.
