38 Setting Up the VCR Plus+ Programming System
1
First, fill in the boxes on this page. It will only take a few minutes, and you must do it if you want the VCR
Plus+ programming system to work properly.
Since the channel numbers of the stations you receive may not be the same as the station numbers, and
since channel numbers differ from area to area, you must program the VCR with your local channel infor-
mation. To fill in the boxes, you will need 1) a cable channel line-up list, if applicable (you can request one
from your cable company), and 2) a chart that lists VCR Plus+ channel numbers, which you can find in your
TV guide or the TV listings of your local newspaper.

Multi-Channel Television Sound System 49
If a tape is recorded in stereo, the VCR will play the tape in
stereo. If a TV program is broadcast in stereo, the VCR will
receive the program in stereo. (You must program the VCR and
make the appropriate stereo hookups. Details are on pages 50 -
51.)
Your VCR will do several additional things.
• Second Audio You can program your VCR so that you can
hear a program that is being broadcast in second audio or a
tape that was recorded in second audio. (A second audio broad-
cast is usually a program in a second language.) Follow the steps
on page 50.
• Hi-Fi Stereo Playback You can program your VCR to play a
tape in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo. Follow the steps on page 51.
• Hi-Fi Stereo Recording You can program your VCR to
receive and record a program broadcast in Hi-Fi stereo. Follow
the steps on page 50.
Study the information below to familiarize yourself with your
VCR’s stereo, second audio, and Hi-Fi stereo options. Then go to
page 50 to receive or record a program in stereo or second
audio, or to page 51 to play a tape in Hi-Fi stereo.
Receiving a Stereo Broadcast
When a TV program is being broadcast in stereo, the ST (Stereo)
light will appear on the display panel. This light means a stereo
broadcast is available. You still have to program your VCR to
receive the stereo broadcast. To receive and record a program
broadcast in stereo, follow the steps on page 50.
Receiving a Second Audio Program
If a program is being broadcast in second audio, the SAP (Second
Audio Program) light will appear on the display panel. This light
means a second audio program is available. You still have to
program your VCR to receive the second audio program. To
receive and record a program broadcast in second audio, follow
the steps on page 50.
