Setting Up the VCR Plus

System
Setting up your recorder involves coordinating the
TV channel number (the number you turn to on
your TV or recorder to watch a program) with the
guide channel (the number that’s assigned to that
channel in your TV program guide).
To find the guide channel numbers, look at the
“Channel Line-up Chart” in the program guide for
your area that features VCR PlusCode numbers.
Use the Channel Line-up Chart to coordinate the
guide channel number with the TV channel
number. For example, if HBO is listed in the
Channel Line-up Chart as channel 33, and the
recorder receives HBO on channel 5, coordinate
these numbers using the following procedure.
