Basic Operations (VCR Plus + Recording)
Easy Delayed Recording with VCR Plus +
About VCR Plus+
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 - 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 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 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
