Timer recording using the VCR Plus+
programming system
This system makes programming timer recordings very
simple. Most TV guides publish PlusCode numbers with
their program details. If you want to make a timer
recording of a program, you just input the corresponding
code. The date, start, stop and channel settings are made
automatically. All you have to do is tell the recorder the
recording mode, and whether it's a once-only recording
or a regular recording.
