Set Up (with Auto Clock Setting)
IMPORTANT (Caution during Set Up):
• Do not press the VCR ON/OFF button on the VCR or remote control.
• Do not insert a video cassette into the VCR.
The Set Up function automatically sets the tuner channels and clock when the antenna cable is connected to the
rear of the VCR and the power plug is then connected to an AC outlet.
Importants:
When using a cable box:
• See Cable TV Connections.
• Leave POWER on the cable box turned on and select a channel that carries EDS signals.
Procedures
1. Make sure that the antenna cable is connected. For connection configuration, refer to Connections.
2. Connect the VCR power plug to an AC outlet.
3. The tuner channels and clock will automatically be set. The VCR POWER indicator will flash quickly to
indicate the setting.
• This VCR can monitor and use time-signals (EDS signals), which are provided by some TV stations, to
automatically adjust the VCR clock. This VCR automatically searches EDS signals, but if you are in a hurry to use
timer recording or know the channel of the EDS signal carrier in your area, follow the procedure in Auto Clock
Setting or Manual Clock Setting.
Notes:
• If power is supplied to the VCR before the cable is connected, Set Up will not be able to preset the channels into
memory. If this occurs unplug the VCR from the power source and wait a few minutes. Check the cable/antenna
connection and supply power to the VCR. Set Up will automatically begin again.
• If the power is turned on during Set Up, the Auto Channel setting will be interrupted and the tuner channels will
not be able to be preset.
• Auto Clock Setting may take several minutes.
• If the Auto Clock Setting is not completed within 30 minutes, there may be no channels with EDS signals. In this
case, set the clock manually. (See Manual Clock Setting.)
• If the antenna signal is weak, the Auto Clock Setting function may not operate.
• During initial channel setting, the channels are set into the AIR channel setting. To watch a cable TV channel,
select “CATV” on the CHANNEL PRESET screen. (See Setting the Channels.)
4. When the setting is completed, VCR POWER indicator will flash slowly.
