COMPARE CHANNEL NUMBERS

Most TV listings will have a chart indicating the "Guide Channel"
number that each TV station has been assigned for purposes of
VCR Plus+ programming. Check in your TV listing and see
whether that number is the same as the channel number you receive
that station on with your VCR or Cable Box.*

If the numbers match

, you don't have to do anything. You can

go directly to "Timer-Recording with VCR Plus+" p. 26.

If there are stations where the numbers are different, and
you want to be able to timer-record them

, you will have to

"tell" the VCR about the mismatch. Go to step 1.

If there are stations where the numbers are different, but
you don't want to timer-record them

, you can go directly to

"Timer-Recording with VCR Plus+" p. 26.

* SPECIAL NOTE FOR CABLE

SUBSCRIBERS

Ⅲ In many instances, cable TV stations have VCR Plus+ Guide

Channel numbers that DO NOT match the actual channel
number the station is received on. Check your TV listing, or
check with your cable supplier for details.

Ⅲ In many instances, normal broadcast TV stations can be viewed

on cable. Check your TV listing, or check with your cable
supplier for details.

Setting up the VCR Plus+ feature

Depending on the broadcast stations that are receivable in your area, or the cable stations offered by your cable supplier, you may have
to make certain changes in your VCR's "Guide Channel Set" menu to get proper results. Please read on and find out what you need
(and don't need) to do. (After host station scanning, Guide Channel Setting is accomplished automatically, so there's no need for you
to do it manually. Refer to page 6 of the INDEX Plus+manual).

Make sure that you have already...

set the VCR's clock
set the VCR's tuner.
set the Cable Box Controller (

p. 12) if using a Cable Box.
