VCR Timer Recording
(Standard/VCR Plus+)
You can set the timer for a total of 12 programs
together with DVD Timer Recording and VCR
Timer Recording, up to one month in advance.
There are two methods to set the timer: the
standard method and VCR Plus+ method.
• Standard: Set the date, time, and channel of the
program manually.
• VCR Plus+: Enter the PlusCode number
designated for each TV program (page 71).
Note
Do not operate your cable box or satellite receiver just
