Setting Up the VCR
VCR Plus+
®
GOLD
Programming System
The VCR Plus+ GOLD programming system makes VCR set
up automatic by setting and updating the clock and
channel list for you. During the one-time QuickSet Guide
set up, the VCR prompts you to enter your zip code. Soon
after, the VCR clock will set itself and overnight, your VCR
Plus+ programming system channel list will be input for
you.
Time, date, and VCR Plus+ system information are
downloaded from participating TV stations over your
antenna or cable system. Time and date are updated each
time the VCR is turned off (and after every power
interruption). So, when your TV stations or cable company
update their line-ups, your RCA VCR will get the most
current channel list automatically, freeing you from having
to manually change the channel list yourself.
If your VCR Plus+ GOLD system fails to download the
proper information for any reason, you can always
manually map the channels. You can also turn off AUTO
VCR Plus+ if you keep getting prompts about “multiple
cable” services by choosing (2) in the VCR Plus+ SETUP
menu.
Mapping VCR Plus+ Programming
System Channels Manually
Using the VCR Plus+ GOLD programming system can make
taping timer recordings for cable or off-air antenna easier.
If your VCR Plus+ GOLD system setup failed during the
QuickSet, then you will need to map the channels for your
local service manually. A worksheet and abbreviated codes
for typical cable services in the U.S. and Canada are
provided.
