RECORDING WITH VCR PLUS+
The VCR’s VCR Plus+ Easy Taping feature
lets you easily record TV programs by using
the PlusCodes shown in most TV program list-
ings.
Setting the VCR Plus+ Guide
Channels
Most television guides contain a list of two-digit
numbers called guide channels or VCR Plus+
channel numbers. Each broadcast/cable TV
channel is assigned one of these numbers.
Notes:
Before you can record using VCR Plus+,
you must first set the VCR’s guide chan-
nels so your VCR can recognize the Plus-
Codes published in your television guide.
• You can find a guide channel listing for
your area in the TV section of most Sunday
newspapers and other TV listings. In some
listings, the guide channel numbers are
listed next to the station’s call letters.
You only need to set the VCR Plus+ guide
channels once. The channels stay in mem-
ory even if the VCR’s power is interrupted
for an extended period of time.
Before you start, be sure you have com-
pleted all connections, set the clock, set
the on-screen programming language,
selected the input signal, and programmed
all the channels available in your area.
Follow these steps to set the guide channels.
1. Using the list of guide channels in your
television guide as a reference, write down
the following information about each sta-
tion in your area:
Station name/call letters
Guide channel number for the station
Channel number you select on the TV,
cable box, or VCR to tune the station
