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
When you memorized channels, if you chose
Cable box
only
or
Digital cable box only
, make sure you leave the
cable box or digital cable box
on
. At 3:00 am, when the
VCR power is off, the VCR will begin to automatically
change channels on the cable box, one by one, to set the
clock. At this time you cannot use the cable box.
If you want to use the cable box at 3:00 am, turn on the
VCR or set the Clock set of the Set the clock menu to
MANUAL. In both cases, auto clock function will be
cancelled.
When you memorized channels, if you chose
Cable
or
Indoor/outdoor ant.
, the VCR will set the clock as soon as
you turn off the VCR, and at 3:00 am.
After a power failure, the VCR will automatically set the
clock again. (If you have set the Clock set setting of the
Set the clock menu to MANUAL, the auto clock function
will not work.)
