Easy Delayed Recording with VCR Plus +
About VCR Plus+
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 - 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 program.
To get ready to record with VCR Plus+ you need to assign your local broadcast and cable
channels to the VCR Plus+ channel codes already stored in your VCR's memory. This is called
channel setup, and you do it using the on-screen Easy Guide System. The procedure depends
on what kind of hookup you have. We'll give you step-by-step instructions. Then you will be
ready to begin VCR Plus+ recording, also using the on-screen Easy Guide System.

Plus+ channel numbers that you will use in the channel setup procedure.

your TV - for example, channel 4 WTTV (Ind.), channel 20 WFYI (PBS).
