You must give the VCR the special numbers for guide channels (also called VCR Plus+® system channel numbers) assigned to each channel that you receive in your home. The VCR identifies the channel to be recorded by the guide channel number you enter.

The guide channel numbers are published in TV guide magazine, selected local TV publications, or the channel guide from cable company. If you cannot find the numbers, call Gemstar’s customer service department at 1-800-4321-VCR.
