Plus+ system you need to assign your local broadcast and cable channel numbers 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 and the following step-by-step instructions. Then you will be ready to begin VCR Plus+
recording, also using the on-screen Easy Guide System.
VCR Plus+ and PlusCode are trademarks of Gemstar Development corp.
Note: You cannot use the VCR Plus+ system for a timed recording of a DSS program. Program the timer
manually (see page 47).

are any difference, YOUR channel numbers must be assigned to the corresponding VCR Plus+ number. (See

Note in the example that the channel numbers are the same except for 20 (received on channel 8) and 42
