For example
For each channel your unit receives, use the channel line up chart to check that the channel numbers match. For example, SHOWTIME is listed in the channel line up chart (under the VCR Plus+ Channel Number) as channel 38, your unit receives SHOWTIME on channel 14, you need to coordinate these numbers by locating guide channel 38 (under GUIDE CH). Next enter your SHOWTIME channel 14 (under VCR CH).
Continue this process until all channels match.
