TV Guide On Screen™ System Operation
Using the TV Guide On Screen™ system
Before you can use the TV Guide On Screen™ system, you'll
need to set it up. If you haven't already done this, please turn to
"TV Guide On Screen™ System Setup"on page 32 before
proceeding.
In order to record TV programs with a VCR, you need to
correctly connect the equipment to the Plasma Display. For
VCR connection information, see page 71.
NOTE
• The TV Guide On Screen™ interactive program guide
provides listings for cable-ready and digital cable services as
well as conventional broadcast. It does not provide listings
for satellite services.
• Once the TV Guide On Screen™ system is activated it may
take up to 24 hours to begin receiving TV program listings.
Initially, of all eight days of listings may take up to one week
to load.
• TV Guide may not be available in all areas. As content
providers move to digital programming and broadcasting, TV
Guide data may be unavailable or become unavailable.
Screen components
Many of the screens have common elements to make using the
system easier.
