Setting up VCR Plus+

How VCR Plus+ 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 that's
published in the TV section of most
newspapers, cable TV listings, and even
TV GUIDE magazine. Then, just enter
the PlusCode 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
get the guide channel numbers, find the
"Channel Line-up Chart" in the program
guide for your area that features VCR
PlusCodes. It usually looks like the
example to the right.
For each channel your VCR receives, use
the Channel Line-up Chart to check that
the channel numbers match. For
example, if HBO is listed in the Channel
Line-up Chart on channel 33, and your
VCR receives HBO on channel 5, you
need to coordinate these numbers using
the following procedure. For channels
in which the numbers are the same, you
can skip this procedure.
