VCR Plus+TimerProgramming

(HR-A55U Only)

Timer recording allows you to program the VCR to automatically
record a program that will be broadcast at some future time.
The timer record function can be programmed using VCR Plus+
or Express Timer programming up to 8 shows as far as a year in
advance. ( pg. 28 or 32)
The VCR Plus+ timer programming system eliminates the need
to input channel, date, start and stop time data when setting the
timer record function. Simply key in the PlusCode number for
the TV program you wish to record and the VCR's timer will be
automatically programmed. (The PlusCode programming
numbers are the numbers next to the programs in most TV
