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, just enter the PlusCode
number of 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 program) 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 Line-up 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
Channel Line-up Chart to check that the
guide channel numbers match the TV
channel your VCR receives. For
example, if HBO is listed in the Channel
Line-up Chart on channel 33, and your
VCR receives HBO on channel 5, you
need to coordinate these numbers using
the following procedure. If the guide
and TV channel numbers are the same,
you can skip this procedure.
