5. Now you're ready to assign your local channels to VCR Plus+ channels in the
VCR'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

Hint: Try several practice recordings after doing your channel setup. You should
get the same channels as you usually watch at home.

Cable with a cable box
Cable with a cable box and splitter (Cable box to unscramble all channels)
Cable with a cable box and splitter (Cable box to unscramble only pay

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

If any channel numbers don't match, follow the steps (page 47) 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.

In the example above none of the cable channels match, all of them need to be
assigned to VCR Plus+ channel codes.
