Setting the Clock
You have to set the clock using either
Setting the Auto Clock
or
Setting the Clock Manually
before you can program
your VCR to
record.
Setting the Auto Clock
Your VCR can set the clock automatically by picking up a time
signal which some TV and cable channels transmit with their
broadcasts. Most PBS stations send this signal; however, this
function works only if a channel in your area is broadcasting a time
signal. If you don’t receive this signal, set the clock manually.
1
Press MENU on the remote control. VCR Main Menu will
appear.
2
Press the ADJUST buttons to select First Time Set-Up. Press
ENTER. The First Time Set-Up menu will appear. Use the
ADJUST buttons to select Set the clock. Press ENTER.
3
You will see the Set the clock menu. Auto Clock set will be
highlighted. Press the ADJUST buttons to select ON.
4
Turn the VCR off to activate the auto clock setting function.
The VCR will search for a channel that carries a time signal, then
set your time zone and daylight saving time. If there are only a few
channels in your area that carry time signals, it may take about 30
minutes to complete. If you turn the VCR on before the correct
time displays, the auto clock setting will be cancelled. See if the
clock has been set on the front panel display on the VCR.
If the VCR displays the wrong time, the time zone setting may not
be correct. To adjust this, follow the steps in
If the VCR displays
the wrong time
. (See the next page.)
IMPORTANT
The auto clock function will activate whenever you turn off
the VCR and at 3:00 am, when the VCR power is off. If
you use a cable box, make sure that you leave the cable
box on and tuned to the local PBS station to activate the
auto clock function.
After a power failure, the VCR will automatically set the
clock again. (If you have set the Auto Clock set setting of
the Set the clock menu to OFF, the auto clock function will
not work.)
