Setting up the VCR Plus+
(SLV-N71 only)
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
PlusCode numbers. 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 as 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.
