Time and Date
The VCR gives you two ways to set the time and date: manually,
and the Auto Clock Feature. The Auto Clock Feature enables the
VCR to update the clock each time the VCR is turned off. The
Auto Clock is advantageous because it updates the time for you
automatically.
Before you set the time and date, set the Auto DST (Daylight-
Saving Time) feature to ON or OFF for your area.
Auto Clock Set Feature
The Auto Clock Set feature is set to ON at the factory. In the ON
setting, the VCR looks for a channel carrying XDS (Extended Data
Services) information. XDS updates the clock using the
Coordinated Universal Time. There are certain steps that are
required , such as Auto Channel Search, setting the Time Zone,
and setting the Daylight Saving feature before the Auto Clock
feature works.
Selecting Channels
The Channel up and down buttons
access those channels active in your
VCR channel list.
You can still access channels not in
the channel list by using the number
buttons on the remote control.
Auto Clock Information
With a cable box, the VCR will not
reset the clock after a power outage
unless the cable box is turned on to
the channel carrying the XDS signal.
If AUTO CLOCK SET is unsuccessful,
try tuning the VCR to (or cable box)
to a channel carrying the broadcast
information (usually PBS), then turn
the VCR off. If the time does not set
within 10 minutes, set the time and
date manually through the menu
items.
Check your local cable system or TV
stations for availability of channels
with XDS.
