Note: Using this setup method does not store any channel in the VCR’s memory. Instead, you select channels using the cable box. See “Using the VCR’s Remote Control with Your TV and Cable Box or Satellite Receiver” on Page 22 for how to use the VCR’s remote con- trol to change the channels on the cable box.

Alternate Setup

Follow the steps in this section if:

•You selected VCR CABLE/DSS TV or

VCR TV in Step 4 on Page 14

•You selected NO REMOTE in Step 6 on Page 15

•You use a direct-to-home satellite receiver and selected YES in Step 8 on Page 17

If the VCR did not control your cable box or di- rect-to-home satellite receiver in Step 8 on Page 17, follow Steps 1–4 in “Reprogramming Tuner Memory” on Page 20 first, then follow the steps in this section.

2.Set your cable box to the local PBS station, then press CH s. Or if you do not have a cable box or direct-to-home satellite receiver, simply press CH s.

After you press CH s, CH AUTO SET PRO- CEEDING and the current channel number appear on the TV screen as the VCR scans through the channels and memorizes all active channels in your area.

Note: If you have already set the channels and just want to manually set the clock, press MENU/ACTION to skip tuner program- ming. Then see “Manually Setting the Clock” on Page 19.

3.When the VCR finishes scanning and stor- ing channels, it searches for an EDS signal and shows:

AUTO CLOCK SET

CANCEL: PUSH STOP KEY

It can take up to 10 minutes for the VCR to set the clock using the EDS signal. If the VCR finds a signal, it automatically sets its clock to the correct time and date, then the time and date, current channel setting, and AUTO CLOCK SET COMPLETED appear. Afterwards, the VCR resets the clock by the received EDS signal the first time you turn it off during a day. If the VCR does not detect a signal within this time, AUTO CLOCK SET INCOMPLETE appears. There is probably not an EDS signal avail- able in your area. Press MENU/ACTION, then see “Manually Setting the Clock” on Page 19 to set the clock.

Notes:

•Your VCR protects tuner programming for up to 24 hours in case a power failure occurs or if the power cord becomes unplugged. After about 24 hours without power, the VCR loses the programming.

•If you have not connected the VCR to an antenna, cable box, direct-to-home sat- ellite receiver, or other signal source through the IN FROM ANT. jack, the VCR does not store any channel in memory.
