already ended.

number of a program that has
already been set to record.
• If the 6 programs have already
been preset, "6 programs have
already been set" appears on the

How the VCR Plus+ system works
Whenever you want to record a TV program, all you need to do is look up
the program's "PlusCode," 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. You can preset up to six programs within a one month
time frame. To take advantage of this function, you must first set up your
Video/TV and assign channel positions to the various guide channels. For
details, see "Setting Up VCR Plus+ system" on page 16.
Before you begin
Make sure that the time and date are set correctly. If not, refer to "Setting
the Clock" on page 12.
Make sure that the loaded cassette has its safety tab intact.

program in EP mode.)

and tape speed) appears in green.
