Basic Operations (VCR Plus + Recording)

If you don't get cable TV, make a list of all the broadcast channel numbers you

receive on your TV - for example, channel 4 WTTV (Ind.), channel 20 WFYI (PBS).

4.

If you subscribe to cable TV, have your cable company's channel directory handy.

This should list all the channels as you receive them in your home, for example:
Channel 34  Arts and Entertainment Network
Channel 35  Turner Network Television
Channel 36  ESPN

5.

Now you're ready to assign your local channels to VCR Plus+ channels in the VCR's

memory. The way you do this depends on how your VCR is hooked up to the incoming
RF signal. Decide which hookup you have from the diagrams below, and follow the
setup instructions for your type of hookup.

Hint:

Try several practice recordings after doing your channel setup. You should get the

same channels as you usually watch at home.

Cable with a cable box and splitter (Cable box to unscramble all channels)

Cable with a cable box and splitter (Cable box to unscramble only pay channels)

Home Antenna

If your VCR is connected directly to your home antenna, chances are you don't have to
