Automatic clock setting

Once you've set up the VCR, it automatically sets the clock the first time you turn off the VCR. After that, whenever you turn off the VCR, it checks the time and adjusts the clock, even for Daylight Saving Time. The VCR sets the clock by picking up a time signal provided by some TV channels.

If you want to use the timer to record right away, or if the channels in your areas do not carry time signals, set the clock manually. For details, see page 37.

Note

*To successfully record a program from the DSS receiver, proceed as follows:

-Leave the DSS receiver on all the time.

-Turn off the display (menu screen, channel number, etc.) of the DSS receiver.

-To record or receiver locked channels, unlock the channel before the VCR starts recording.

-To set pay-per-view programs in the timer setting, order the pay-per-view program before the VCR starts recording.

-Some programs are copy protected. You cannot record these programs.
