VCR Plus+® PROGRAMMING SYSTEM
You can easily program a timer recording by entering the PlusCode® programming number (3 to 8 digits) published in your TV Guide®, CATV guide or local newspaper.
On any occasion, you can preset a maximum of 8 programs to be recorded during the next
You can also set any of the 8 time slots to repeatedly record the same channel at the same time daily (Monday through Friday) or weekly. Daily and weekly settings are retained in the timer memory and will continue to cue the VCR to record as long as tape is available.
During timer programming, you may want to take advantage of convenient features that give you the option of saving the title/type of program being recorded (Rec. List Super, page
27)and having the VCR automatically set the proper tape speed (Smart Speed Record Function, page 26).
NOTE: The clock time must be set before a VCR Plus+ programming system recording can be programmed.
