≥Under adverse reception conditions, etc., the Automatic time correction function may not work. In this case, the indication for “Automatic” is automatically reset to “OFF”.

If the reception conditions improve later on, it may be possible to activate this function.

5Press the EXIT button R to exit the On Screen Display.

Hints:

≥If “Automatic” is set to “ON” when you open the Clock screen, do not set it to “OFF”, otherwise, the automatic time correcting function is deactivated.

≥The built-in clock employs the 24-hour system.

≥In case of a power failure, an automatic back-up system automatically maintains the operation of the clock for at least 60 minutes.

≥When “Automatic” on the Clock setting menu is set to “ON”, the automatic time correction function checks and if necessary adjusts the time several times every day.

The automatic time correction function only works when the VCR is switched off; it does not work in the timer recording standby mode.

≥If “Automatic” is set to “OFF” and “Power save” to “ON” (see page 30), the time may not be maintained correctly. In this case, manually adjust the clock.

≥If “Automatic” is set to “ON” and “Power save” to “ON”, the Automatic time correction function does not work while the VCR is turned off. However, as soon as it is turned on, the Automatic time correction function is activated and the clock is set correctly.
