Once you’ve set up the VCR, it automatically sets the clock the first time you turn off the VCR. “ACS” (Auto Clock Set) will flash in the display window and search for a time signal provided by Sony Entertainment Television (SETV). After that, whenever you turn off the VCR, it checks the time and adjusts the clock, even for Daylight Saving Time.

If you want to use the timer to record right away, or if the cable TV station in your area does not broadcast SETV, or if SETV in your area does not carry time signals, set the clock manually. For details, see page 23.

Notes

•If the clock is not set, “ACS” will flash in the display window whenever the VCR is turned off. During this time, the VCR will search for a time signal.

•The Daylight Saving Time start and end days may differ depending on the year. To ensure correct switching, select SI or NO for the HORARIO VERANO setting (page 22).
