Programming & Playback Features

VCR Plus+™ Programming

Simplifies VCR programming by allowing you to simply enter PlusCode®
programming numbers found in many published television listings.When
recording begins,your VCR automatically selects the proper TV channel
and program length.Back-up memory logic retains the cable channel
guide map indefinitely even during a power failure or when the VCR is
disconnected from its power source.

Auto DBS RecordLink™

If you own a satellite dish,this is the feature you’ve been waiting for. Set
your DBS receiver to turn on and tune in to a specific program and it will
automatically turn on the VCR in the record mode and then turn off
when the DBS receiver turns off.The secret is in the A/V input jack panel.
It senses the presence of a video signal…and the rest is history.
