Setting up the VCR Plus+ system
How the VCR Plus+ system works
Whenever you want to record a TV
program, all you need to do is look up
the ”PlusCode" number, a number
assigned to each program published in
the TV section of most newspapers,
cable TV listings, and even TV GUIDE
magazine. Then, justenter the PlusCode
number or the program you want and
the VCR is automatically programmed
to record that show. It‘s that simple.
How to set up your VCR
Setting up your VCR involves
coordinating the TV channel number
(the number you turn to on your TV or
VCR to watch a pmgnam) with the guide
channel (the number that’s assigned to
that channel in your program guide),
To find the guide channel numbers, look
at the “Channel Lineup Chart" in the
program guide for your area that
features VCR PlusCodes. It usually
looks like the example to the right
To set the guide channels, use the

need to coordinate these numbers using
the following procedure. If the guide
