I About the VCR Plus+ system

]

This handy feature makes timed recording a snap. You don't need to enter the specific channel, date, time, or
duration of a program. All you enter is its PlusCode programming number - 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 PlusCode numbers next to each program.

Your local channels may be different from the VCR Plus+ channel codes To get ready to record with the VCR
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 R are trademarks of Gemstar
Development Corporation.

Before you begin
1 Look for a listing like this one in your local TV program guide or Sunday newspaper TV section
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.
