* With the VCR Plus+ C

3 ® system, this video

 

cassette recorder can automatically select the

 

appropriate channel on your compatible cable

 

box or satellite receiver. VCR Plus+, C3 and
PlusCode are registered trademarks of

 

Gemstar Development Corporation. The VCR

 

Plus+ system is manufactured under license

 

from Gemstar Development Corporation.

 

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.
