VIDEO Plus+ is a feature in Sony VCRs
that simplifies programming the VCR to
make timer recordings. To use VIDEO
Plus+, each programme position needs
to be matched with 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 a
station name you want, you need to set
the guide channel manually. To get the
guide channel numbers, see “Guide

area that features PlusCode.
