5. Now you're ready to assign your local channels to VCR Plus+ channels in the
remote control's memory. The way you do this depends on how your VCR is hooked
up to the incoming RF signal. Decide which hookup you have from the diagrams
below, and follow the setup instructions for your type of hookup.
Hint: Try several practice recordings after doing your channel setup. You should get
the same channels as you usually watch at home.
Home antenna or Cable (no cable box)
Cable with a cable box
Cable with a cable box and a splitter
Home Antenna
If your VCR is connected directly to your home antenna, chances are you don't have to
do any special channel setup. To find out, compare the VCR Plus+ channels in your
TV program guide to your list of channels that you receive at home.
If any channel numbers don't match, follow the steps (page 53) to assign your local
channel numbers to VCR Plus+ numbers.
Cable (No Cable Box)
This is the channel setup to use if your VCR is hooked up directly to cable without a
cable box.
Compare your local TV channel listing to your cable company's channel directory to
find channels that need to be assigned to the VCR Plus+ codes. For example:
In the example above none of the cable channels match, all of them need to be
assigned to VCR Plus+ channel codes.
