Basic Operations (VCR Plus + Recording)
46
If your VCR is connected directly to your home antenna, chances are you don't have to
do any special channel setup. To find out, compare the VCR Plus+ channels in your TV
program guide to your list of channels that you receive at home.
If any channel numbers don't match, follow the steps (page 47) to assign your local
channel numbers to VCR Plus+ numbers.
Cable (No Cable Box)
This is the channel setup to use if your VCR is hooked up directly to cable without a
cable box.
Compare your local TV channel listing to your cable company's channel directory to find
channels that need to be assigned to the VCR Plus+ codes.
For example:
In the example above none of the cable channels match, all of them need to be
assigned to VCR Plus+ channel codes.
Matching Broadcast CH Numbers to VCR Plus+ Channels
For Home Antenna or Cable (No Cable Box) Setup
1. Press GUIDE, then press 4 to select VCR PLUS SETUP.
You will see the screen as shown below.
2. A small arrow points to a blank "--" in the Channel column. If your broadcast channel
number is the same as the VCR Plus+ channel in your TV listing, do not enter any
number. Press CHANNEL up or down to position a nonmatching station next to the
arrow.
3. If your broadcast channel number is not the same as the VCR Plus+ channel in your
TV listing, use the number buttons to assign the broadcast channel to the corresponding
VCR Plus+ channel.
If you enter a wrong digit, press CLEAR and enter the correct one.
In the example below broadcast channel #38 is assigned to VCR Plus+ channel #42.
