Universal Remote Control — lets you control your VCR, as well as TVs and cable boxes pro- duced by other manufacturers.

Memory Sentinel — protects clock settings, tuner programming information, and timer memory settings in case of a power loss. The clock continues to run for 30 minutes, and tun- er programming information and timer memory settings are kept for up to 24 hours.

Automatic/Manual Clock Setting — lets you set the VCR to automatically update its clock using EDS (Extended Data Service) signals sent by some TV stations. You can also manu- ally set the clock.

Note: EDS is provided by some broadcasters and includes various types of information, in- cluding the current time. If no broadcasters in your area transmit EDS signals, you must man- ually set the clock.
