How VCR Plus+ works

Setting up VCR Plus+ Whenever you want to record a TV program, all you need to do is look up the program’s “PlusCode,” a number assigned to each program that’s published in the TV section of most newspapers, cable TV listings, and even TV GUIDE magazine. Then, just enter the PlusCode of the program you want and the VCR is automatically programmed to record that show. It’s that simple.

Example of “PlusCode”

				PlusCode
5:30	14 MOVIE			Musical (2hrs.) 33044
	2	SPORT		Golf (1hr. 25min.) 42060
	CNN		WS 9974
6:30	2	3	4 DRAMA Comedy (2hrs.) 17390
	5	SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

(1hr. 15min.) 73457

How to set up your unit’s VCR

Setting up your VCR involves coordinating the TV channel number (the number you turn to on your TV or VCR to watch a program) with the guide channel (the number that’s assigned to that channel in your program guide). To get the guide channel numbers, find the “Channel Line-up Chart” in the program guide for your area that features VCR PlusCodes. It usually looks like the example below.

For each channel your VCR receives, use the Channel Line-up Chart to check that the channel numbers match. For example, if HBO is listed in the Channel Line-up Chart on channel 33, and your VCR receives HBO on channel 5, you need to coordinate these numbers using the following procedure. For channels in which the numbers are the same, you can skip this procedure.
