SETTING THE CLOCK
You must set the clock accurately for proper automatic timer recording. In many areas, Pub- lic Broadcasting Service (PBS) stations broad- cast an Extend Data Service (EDS) signal with their regular broadcast. This signal can auto- matically set your Model 36’s clock to the cor- rect time. If a PBS station is available in your area, follow the steps under “Auto Clock Set- ting.” If not, follow the steps under “Manual Clock Setting” on Page 18.
Auto Clock Setting
Confirm that the antenna connections are cor- rect before using auto clock setting.
Note: Since DC power is often interrupted, you cannot use auto clock setting when you power the Model 36 using DC power. And, if your TV/ VCR is connected directly to a cable converter box, the box must be turned on and tuned to the local PBS station.
