How the VCR Plus+ GOLD system
works
Whenever you want to record a TV program,
all you need to do is look up the “PlusCode”
number, a number assigned to each program
published in the TV section of most
newspapers, cable TV listings, and even TV
GUIDE magazine. Then, just enter the
PlusCode number 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).
The VCR can set the guide channels
automatically (see page 52), but you may
have to set the guide channels manually
depending on your area or the way you
hooked up your VCR (see page 55).
To find the guide channel numbers, look at
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.
