The Auto clock function will automatically set the built-
in clock (Month, Day, Year and Time) when the unit is
connected to an Antenna or Cable system and it is
turned off. As the unit searches for a receivable station
in your area and it receives a broadcast signal for Auto
clock, the Auto clock needs several minutes to set
itself.
