Auto clock setting

Preparation:

You must connect the antenna or cable before connect- ing the AC cord to the power source.

Wait 30 minutes with the power turned off, after the antenna or cable is connected, for the auto clock feature to activate.

After the clock is set automatically, you may have to set the time zone and daylight saving time. (See page 26.) Press STANDBY/ON to turn on the DVD/VCR after the auto clock operation completed.

When shipped from the factory, the “AUTO CLOCK” option is set to “ON” position.

If you turn the DVD/VCR on during auto clock setting, the clock is not set.

After a power failure or disconnection of the power plug, the clock setting will be lost. In this case, wait 30 minutes before turning the DVD/VCR on.

With cable box connection, if the auto clock setting is unsuccessful, select the PBS channel carrying the XDS information, then turn the DVD/VCR off. After 30 minutes, turn the DVD/VCR on.

If the clock is not set automatically, set the clock manually. (See page 26.)

Setting the video channel

3Press STANDBY/ON to turn on the DVD/VCR.
