About the VCR Plus+ System

This handy feature makes timed recordings a snap. You don't need to enter the specific channel, date, time, or duration of a program. All you enter is its PlusCode programming number - a number of up to eight digits. This special code is easy to find in your favorite -rv program guide or daily newspaper. Here's a sample page from -rv Guide showing PlusCodes next to each program.

To get ready to record with the VCR Plus+ system you need to assign your local broadcast and cable channels to the VCR Plus+ channel codes already stored in your VCR's memory. This is called channel setup, and you do it using the on- screen Easy Guide System. The procedure depends on what kind of hookup you have. We'll give you step-by-step instructions. Then you will be ready to begin VCR Plus+ recording, also using the on-screen Easy Guide System.

Channel setup is easy if you take care of these things first:

3.If you don't get cable -rv, make a list of all the broadcast channel numbers you receive on your-rv - for example, channel 4 w-r-rv (Ind.), channel 20 WFYI (PBS).

4.If you subscribe to cable -rv, have your cable company's channel directory handy. This should list all the channels as you receive them in your home, for example:
