VIDEO Plus+
VIDEO Plus+ is a feature in Sony VCRs that simplifies programming the
unit’s VCR to make timer recordings. To use VIDEO Plus+, each
programme position needs to match its VIDEO Plus+ guide channel. If
the guide channels were not preset in the EASY SET UP procedure, set
them by selecting the station names. If you cannot find the station name
you want, you need to set the guide channel manually. To find the
guide channel numbers, see “Guide channels for VIDEO Plus+” on page
24, or look in the programme guide for your area that features
PlusCode.
• If you want to record satellite broadcasts using VIDEO Plus+, see page
25.
Before you start…
• Press VHS TUNER.
– If the TV doesn’t turn on, turn it on manually.
Press VHS TUNER again if connected with a EURO-AV (Scart)
cable.
– If connected with a EURO-AV (Scart) cable, the TV is automatically
set to VCR reception.
– If connected with only the antenna cable, set the TV to the VCR’s
programme position manually.
