Recording TV programmes using the VIDEO Plus + system

The VIDEO Plus + system is a feature that simplifies programming the VCR to make timer recordings. Just enter the PLUSCODE NO. listed in the TV programme guide. The date, times, and programme position of that programme are set automatically. You can preset up to eight programmes at a time.

Before you start…

•Check that the VCR clock is set to the correct time and date.

•Insert a tape with its safety tab in place. Make sure the tape is longer than the total recording time.

•Turn on your TV and set it to the video channel.

•If you insert a tape with the SmartFile function, make sure the total recording time doesn’t overlap the protected programme. For details about the SmartFile function, see page 70.

•Set TIMER OPTIONS to VIDEO Plus + or VARIABLE in the OTHER OPTIONS menu (see page 66).
