About VCR Plus+

This special code is easy to find in your favorite TV program guide or a daily newspaper. Here's a sample page from TV Guide showing PlusCodes next to each program.

2.Look for a listing like the one below in your local TV program guide or Sunday newspaper TV section. Notice the small numbers to the right of the station name. These are the VCR Plus+ channel numbers that you will use in the channel setup procedure.
