Helpful Hints

CODE ERROR may flash on the screen after step 3 if you enter an incorrect PlusCode programming number (for example, one that is too short). The previous screen will appear. Enter the correct PlusCode programming num- ber.

If CLASH flashes on the screen after step 3, the timer recording you just programmed and another timer recording overlap. The previous screen will appear. Enter a different PlusCode programming number or cancel the overlapping timer recording.

You may use the VCR Plus+ Programming System to record pro- grams on Cable TV channels up to channel 99.

If the VCR PLUS+ CROSS REF. MAP reappears after step 3, the VCR PLUS + channel number for the recording you entered was higher than 99. In this

case, enter the correct CABLE/TV chan- nel in the map. Then, press the MENU button and continue from step 4.
