Checking the channel set up to use VCR Plus+ system
To set the timer using VCR Plus+ system, you have to check whether the VCR channel numbers match the guide channels which are assigned to the TV stations.
If they do not match, the VCR Plus+ system does not function correctly. In this case, coordinate the numbers.

For example
For each channel your VCR 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+ Code) as channel 38, your VCR 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.
