• About the VCR Plus+ system

This handy feature makes timed recording a snap. You don'tneed to enter the specific channel, date, time or duration of a program. All you enter is its PlusCode programming number - a number of up to eight digits. This special code is easy to find in your favodte TV program guide or daily newspaper. Here'sa sample page from TV

Guide showing PlusCode numbers next to each program.

Your local channels may be different from the VCR Plus+ channel codes. To get ready to record with the VCR Plus+ system you need to assign your local broadcast and cable channel numbers to the VCR Plus+ channel codes already stored in your VCR'smemory. This is called channel setup and you do it using the on-screen Easy Guide System and the following step-by-step instructions. Then you will be ready to begin VCR Plus+ recording, also using the on-screen Easy Guide System.

VCR Plus+ and PlusCode are trademarks of Gemstar Development corp.
