The Set Up function automatically sets the tuner channels and the
clock when the antenna cable is connected to the rear of the VCR
before the power plug is connected to an AC outlet.
This VCR can monitor and use EDS time signals, which are provided
by some TV stations, to automatically adjust the VCR clock. This
VCR automatically searches for EDS signals. To manually set the
clock, see “Auto Clock Setting” or “Manual Clock Setting” on
Page 18.
Important:
• Do not press
VCR ON/OFF
on the VCR or the remote control.
• Do not insert a video cassette into the VCR.
• When using a cable box, leave POWER on the cable box turned
on and select a channel that carries EDS signals.
• Make sure that the antenna cable is connected. See “Connecting
Antennas” on page 8.
1. Turn on the VCR.
2. The tuner clock and channels are automatically set. The VCR
POWER LED flashes quickly to indicate the setting.
3. When the setting is completed, the VCR POWER LED flashes
slowly.
Notes:
• If power is supplied to the VCR before the cable/antenna is
connected, Set Up is not able to preset the channels into
memory. 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 automatically begins again.
• If the power is turned on during Set Up, the Auto Channel
setting is interrupted and the tuner channels are not preset.
• Setting the Auto Clock 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” on Page 18).
• 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.)

outlet must be connected to your TV’s ANT/CATV jack with a coaxial
cable.
