Recording using VIDEO Plus+
VIDEO Plus+ simplifies the process of recording television programmes. It works by entering codes that contain all the
necessary information for recording. These are called PlusCodes and can be found in most television listings magazines.
You must tune and store channels as set out on page 5 and set the clock to the correct time before using VIDEO Plus+.
