Position the IR transmitter end of the G-
LINK™ cable so that the IR receiver on your
cable/satellite/digital terrestrial receiver will
pick up the control signals (see diagram).
See the manual that came with your cable/

not sure where the IR receiver is on the front
panel. Alternatively, experiment with the
remote control, operating it from very close
range until you find the place where the
receiver responds.
