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. There are certain steps that are required, such as Auto Channel Search, setting the Time Zone, and setting the Daylight Savings feature, before the Auto Clock feature works.

Selecting Channels

The CHANNEL up and down buttons access those channels active in your VCR channel list.

You can still access channels not in the channel list by using the number buttons on the remote.

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.
