Programming & Playback Features
VCR Plus+™ Programming
SimplifiesVCR programming by allowing you to simply enter PlusCode®
programming numbers found in many published television listings.When
recording begins, yourVCR automatically selects the properTV channel
and program length.Back-up memory logic retains the cable channel
guide map indefinitely even during a power failure or when theVCR 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 theVCR in the record mode and then turn off
when the DBS receiver turns off.The secret is in theA/V input jack panel.
It senses the presence of a video signal…and the rest is history.
