Step 7 : Setting up the VCR Plus+
®
 system 
(SLV-D560P only)
How the VCR Plus+ system works
Whenever you want to record a TV program, 
all you need to do is look up the “PlusCode” 
number, a number assigned to each program 
published in the TV section of most 
newspapers, cable TV listings, and even TV 
GUIDE magazine.  Then, just enter the 
PlusCode number of the program you want 
and the VCR is automatically programmed to 
record that show.  It’s that simple.
How to set up your VCR
Setting up your VCR involves coordinating 
the TV channel number (the number you turn 
to on your TV or VCR to watch a program) 
with the guide channel (the number that is 
assigned to that channel in your program 
guide).
To find the guide channel numbers, look at 
the “Channel Line-up Chart” in the program 
guide for your area that features VCR 
PlusCode numbers.  It usually looks like the 
example to the right.
To set the guide channels, use the Channel 
Line-up Chart to check that the guide channel 
numbers match the TV channel your VCR 
receives.  For example, if HBO is listed in the 
Channel Line-up Chart as channel 33, and 
your VCR receives HBO on channel 5, you 
need to coordinate these numbers using the 
following procedure.  If the guide and TV 
channel numbers are the same, you can skip 
this procedure.

Notes on playing DTS* sound tracks on a CD
• When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be heard from the analog stereo jacks. 
To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions 
when the analog stereo jacks of the DVD player are connected to an amplification system.  To 
enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1-channel decoder system must be 
connected to the digital jack of the DVD player.
• Set  the  sound to “Stereo” using the AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD 
(page 87).
• Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the DVD player to an audio 
component having a built-in DTS decoder.  The DVD player outputs the DTS signal via the 
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack even if “DTS” is set to “Off” in 
“AUDIO SETUP” menu (page 66), and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be 
damaged.
Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track
• DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or 
OPTICAL) jack.
• When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to “On” in “AUDIO SETUP” 
menu (page 66).
• If you connect the player to audio equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to 
“On” in “AUDIO SETUP” menu (page 66).  A loud noise may come out from the speakers, 
affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

– Streaks appear while playing in slow motion.
– Bands appear at the top or bottom while pausing.
– The picture shakes during pause.
Notes
• Tapes recorded in LP mode on other VCRs can be played back on this VCR but the picture 
quality cannot be guaranteed.
• The  counter resets to “0:00:00” whenever a tape is reinserted.
• The  counter stops counting when it comes to a portion with no recording.
• When 10 hours have passed, the counter in the display window returns to “0:00:00” and the 
count starts over again.
• No  sound is output during playback at various speeds.
• The picture may show noise when playing at high speed in reverse.
• While playing a tape, you can display the setup menu, but the remote commander’s function 
switches to DVD automatically.  Press 
O RETURN repeatedly to exit the menu.
• When playback does not start even if you insert a tape with its safety tab removed, set “Auto 
Play” to “On” in the “VIDEO FUNCTION SETUP” menu (page 106).
• Stop disc playback while playing back a video.
• The VCR can also play S-VHS tapes recorded by S-VHS mode.  The VCR will automatically 
identify the type of tape inserted in the VCR (either VHS or S-VHS).  When S-VHS tapes are 
played in the VCR, the enhanced resolution will not be visible on screen; there may also be 
picture distortion while playing the S-VHS tape in slow motion or while utilizing other 
special playback modes.  The VCR will not record in S-VHS mode on an S-VHS tape.
• The  playback of S-VHS tapes recorded in EP/LP mode cannot be guaranteed.
