specific channel, date, time, or duration of a program. All you enter is its PlusCode - a
number of up to eight digits. This special code is easy to find in your favorite TV
program guide or daily newspaper. Here's a sample page from TV Guide showing
PlusCodes next to each program.
To get ready to record with VCR Plus+ you need to assign your local broadcast and
cable channels to the VCR Plus+ channel codes already stored in your remote
control's memory. This is called channel setup, and you do it using the remote control.
The procedure depends on what kind of hookup you have. We'll give you step-by-step
instructions. Then you will be ready to begin VCR Plus+ recording.

Channel Setup
Before you Begin
Channel setup is easy if you take care of these things first:
1. Make sure you have programmed the local TV channels into your VCR following the
instructions in Initial Setup (page 23).
2. Look for a listing like the one below in your local TV program guide or Sunday
newspaper TV section. Notice the small numbers to the right of the station name.
These are the VCR Plus+ channel numbers that you will use in the channel setup
procedure.
3. If you don't get cable TV, make a list of all the broadcast channel numbers you
receive on your TV - for example, channel 4 WTTV (Ind.), channel 20 WFYI (PBS).
4. If you subscribe to cable TV, have your cable company's channel directory handy.
This should list all the channels as you receive them in your home, for example:
Channel 34 Arts & Entertainment Network
Channel 35 Turner Network Television
Channel 36 ESPN
