VCR Plus+ System is ...

a feature that allows you to set most items of a timer recording by simply entering a special code

number (PlusCode programming number) found in TV GUIDE and selected newspaper TV listings.

Initial Setup

In order to use Timer Programming Using VCR Plus+, the Initial Setup on page 8 to 11 must be

...

completed for setting Clock and Channel.

Channel Setup

Since Plus Code numbers assigned to channels (found in TV Guide and selected newspapers) may differ from channels in your viewing area, you’ll need to enter your local TV channel number for each corresponding Guide Channel. If you perform the VCR+ Channel set up procedures shown below, you will be able to perform timer recordings using the VCR+ code-programming number listed in your local TV listing.

.....

VCR Plus+ Channel Setup

To complete step 4 of setup, do the following:

■ Prepare a TV/Cable station line-up and channels they are received on. Also, the Guide (PlusCode) numbers assigned to your stations (found in TV Guide and selected newspapers.)

• Make a 3-column chart (see sample). Left column -> all stations you receive. Middle column -> each station’s assigned Guide (PlusCode) number from TV Guide, etc. Right column -> channel number on which your TV receives the station.

i-ij Cleaning Tape

Use “dry” type head cleaning cassette only. (Part No. NV-

TCL30PT is recommended.)

Follow cleaning tape instructions carefully. Excessive use of tape can shorten head life.

If head clog symptoms persist, contact your nearest Factory Service Center or authorized Service Center. {See page 32.)

Cleaning the VCR

Use a soft cloth or dusting

attachment of a vacuum cleaner to

remove dust from the ventilation holes on the back sides and bottom of the cabinet.

Plastic surfaces are easily scratched and can be marred by alcohol and various solvents. Avoid excessive use of oil-based furniture polishes since the materials used in the cabinet will accumulate more dust. We recommend using a nonabrasive, antistatic cleaner and polisher.
