SETTING UP THE VCR
TIME AND DATE
The VCR gives you two ways to set the time and date. The Auto Clock feature which enables the VCR to update the clock each time you turn off the VCR. The Auto Clock feature is advantageous because it updates the time for you automatically. The second way is entering the time and date manually into the menu system.
AUTO CLOCK SET FEATURE
The Auto Clock feature is set to ON at the factory. In the ON setting, the VCR looks for a channel carrying XDS (Extended Data Services) information and updates the clock using the Coordinated Universal Time. After the clock is initially set, you may have to set the Time Zone and Daylight Saving features.

Auto Clock Info
With a cable box, the VCR will not reset the clock after a power outage unless the cable box is set to the channel carrying the broadcast signal.
If Auto Clock Set is unsuccessful, try tuning the VCR (or cable box) to a channel carrying the XDS information (usually PBS), then turn the VCR off. If the time does not set within 10 minutes, set the time and date manually through the menu items.
Check local cable system or TV stations for availability of channels with XDS.
