SETTING UP THE VCR

VCR Plus+® GOLD

PROGRAMMING SYSTEM

The VCR Plus+ GOLD programming system makes VCR set up automatic by setting and updating the clock and channel list for you. During the one-time QuickSet Guide set up, the VCR prompts you to enter your zip code. Soon after, the VCR clock will set itself and overnight, your VCR Plus+ programming system channel list will be input for you.

Time, date, and VCR Plus+ system information are downloaded from participating TV stations over your antenna or cable system. Time and date are updated each time the VCR is turned off (and after every power interruption). So, when your TV stations or cable company update their line-ups, your RCA VCR will get the most current channel list automatically, freeing you from having to manually change the channel list yourself.

If your VCR Plus+ GOLD system fails to download the proper information for any reason, you can always manually map the channels. You can also turn off AUTO VCR Plus+ if you keep getting prompts about “multiple cable” services by choosing (2) in the VCR Plus+ SETUP menu.

MAPPING VCR Plus+ PROGRAMMING SYSTEM CHANNELS MANUALLY

Using the VCR Plus+ GOLD programming system can make taping timer recordings for cable or off-air antenna easier. If your VCR Plus+ GOLD system setup failed during the QuickSet, then you will need to map the channels for your local service manually. A worksheet and abbreviated codes for typical cable services in the U.S. and Canada are provided.
