VCR Plus+® SILVER System

The VCR Plus+ system allows for simple timer recording programming by using a single PlusCode® programming number found in most TV program listings. The VCR Plus+ SILVER system simplifies timer recordings by automatically setting up and updating the VCR’s clock and channel list for you.

Requirements: Make sure the VCR Plus+ SILVER system is active, and that Auto Channel Search and time set features are correct.

®

This feature uses patented technology that detects and marks most commercials on your recordings. The VCR determines where commercials are located, marks the beginnings and ends of detected commercial segments, then easily skips over them during playback. This feature does not erase commercials from

the tape.

®

This feature helps locate the beginning of a purchased or rented movie as well as skip thorugh previews. You can go to the beginning of the movie, or, skip from one preview/long commercial to the next.
