Setting up VCR Plus+
How VCR Plus+ works
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.
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.
