About the VCR Plus+ System
This handy feature makes timed recordings 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 PlusCodes next to each
