5.Now you're ready to assign your local channels to VCR Plus+ channels in the VCR's memory. The way you do this depends on how your VCR is hooked up to the incoming RF signal. Decide which hookup you have from the diagrams below, and follow the setup instructions for your type of hookup.

Hint: Try several practice recordings after doing your channel setup. You should get the same channels as you usually watch at home.

Home antenna or Cable (no cable box)

Cable with a cable box

Cable with a cable box and splitter (Cable box to unscramble all channels)

Cable with a cable box and splitter (Cable box to unscramble only pay channels)

Home Antenna

If your VCR is connected directly to your home antenna, chances are you don't have to do any special channel setup. To find out, compare the VCR Plus+ channels in your TV program guide to your list of channels that you receive at home.

If any channel numbers don'tmatch, follow the steps (page 47) to assign your local channel numbers to VCR Plus+ numbers.

Cable (No Cable Box)

This is the channel setup to use if your VCR is hooked up directly to cable without a cable box.
