PREPARATION

Turn on the power of both the VCR and TV.

Tune the TV to the VCR output channel (CH 3 or 4).

If  a  direct  VIDEO/AUDIO  connection  is  made  between  the
VCR and the TV, set the TV’s source selector to VIDEO.

The VCR gives you two ways to set the time and date: the Auto
Clock Feature or manually. The Auto Clock Feature enables the
VCR to set up the clock when the VCR is turned off. 

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. 

If you choose AUTO, the VCR sets the clock using the DST
information broadcast in the signal (channel).
If  you  choose  ON,  the  VCR  sets  the  clock  when  the  Daylight
Saving Time is started and ended.

If “AUTO” is selected as the time zone, the VCR sets the clock
using the first Coordinated Universal Time information it finds in
a broadcast signal. 

AUTO CLOCK SET

The clock uses the 12-hour system. (Be sure to set AM and
PM correctly.)

The buttons for setting the clock are on the remote control.

An  illogical  date  will  not  be  accepted  (for  example:
February 30).

The initial Clock Setting is 

JANUARY 1, 2003, 12:00 AM
