In the Spring, daylight-saving time begins on the first Sunday in April. Clocks are set forward one hour. Because the clock automatically changes from 2:00 AM to 3:00 AM, keep in mind that any part of a scheduled Timer Recording that falls between these two times is not performed.

In the autumn, daylight-saving time begins on the last Sunday in October. Clocks are set back one hour.

The VCR clock automatically changes from 2:00 AM to 1:00 AM. Therefore, it can affect your recording length.
