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+ program will complete a download at the
next available time.
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.
