About the VCR Plus+ System
This handy feature makes timed recordings a snap. You don't need to enter the
specific channel, date, time, or duration of a program. All you enter is its
PlusCode programming number - a number of up to eight digits. This special
code is easy to find in your favorite -rv program guide or daily newspaper. Here's
a sample page from -rv Guide showing PlusCodes next to each program.
To get ready to record with the VCR Plus+ system you need to assign your local
broadcast and cable channels to the VCR Plus+ channel codes already stored in
your VCR's memory. This is called channel setup, and you do it using the on-
screen Easy Guide System. 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, also using the on-screen Easy Guide System.

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 (page
25).
2. Look for a listing like the one below in your local -rv program guide or Sunday
newspaper -rv 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 -rv, make a list of all the broadcast channel numbers you
receive on your-rv - for example, channel 4 w-r-rv (Ind.), channel 20 WFYI
(PBS).
4. If you subscribe to cable -rv, have your cable company's channel directory
handy. This should list all the channels as you receive them in your home, for
example:
