Reprogramming Tuner Memory
You might want to reprogram the VCR’s tuner memory if you move or change from an anten- na connection to a cable TV connection.
Note: You can also quickly erase all settings, including the time, local channels, and pro- grammed events, then reprogram the tuner’s memory. See “Resetting the VCR’s Memory” on Page 20.

It takes up to 10 minutes for the VCR to set the clock using the EDS signal. If the VCR finds a signal, it automatically sets its clock to the correct time, and AUTO CLOCK SET COMPLETED appears. If the VCR does not detect a signal within this time,

Notes:
•Your VCR protects tuner programming for up to 24 hours in case a power failure occurs or if the power cord becomes unplugged. After about 24 hours without power, the VCR loses the programming.
