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 number.

If CLASH flashes on the screen after step 3, the timer recording you just programmed and another timer recording overlap. The current timer recording will not occur.

If you select DAILY at step 4, ERROR may flash on the screen if the program you want to record is broadcast on a Saturday or Sunday.

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 cor- rect CABLE/TV channel in the map. Then, press the MENU button and continue from step 4.
