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 PlusCodes are the numbers next to the programs in most TV listings.)

TV and cable stations can be received on different channel numbers depending on the area where they are received. Therefore to ensure that VCR Plus+Timer Recording operates correctly it may be necessary to set the VCR Plus+ "Guide Channel Set " for certain stations. Please read the following information carefully to find out which tasks you need to perform.

Before VCR Plus+ setup you must have performed the following procedures:

●Plug & Play (☞ pg. 8)

Clock setting (☞ pg. 11) and Tuner setting (☞ pg. 14)

●Cable box setting if you receive your TV channels through a cable box (☞ pg. 17)

VCR Plus+ Guide Channel Matching

VCR Plus+ assigns a VCR Plus+ "Guide Channel" to broadcast and cable TV channels. These Guide Channel numbers are also called the VCR Plus+ Channel Codes. Most TV listings have a section, usually a chart, indicating the "Guide Channel" numbers assigned to each station. For accurate VCR Plus+ Programming the VCR Plus+ Guide Channel number for each station should match the channel number on which it is received in your area.

If the numbers match, go directly to “VCR Plus+ Timer Programming” (☞ pg. 42).

If the numbers are different, and you want to be able to timer record programs from those stations, you have to inform the VCR of the mismatch. Go to step 1. If you will not want to timer record from those stations, you can go directly to “VCR Plus+ Timer Programming” (☞ pg. 42).

NOTES:

●In many instances the VCR Plus+ Guide Channel numbers for cable and broadcast TV stations DO NOT match the channel number on which it is received by your VCR or cable box.

Check your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.

●If the VCR Plus+ Guide Channel numbers do not match, the wrong VCR/CABLE CH number will be displayed on the Program Screen when you enter the PlusCode for VCR Plus+ Programming. If this occurs set the correct VCR Plus+ Guide Channel to match this number.

●Many broadcast TV stations can be viewed on cable. Check your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.
