Advanced Auto Clock Set

The time and date can be set automatically from clock setting data that is transmitted by one of the regular TV broadcast channels. We call this TV channel the "Host Channel" and it is a PBS channel in your area. With the antenna cable connected, your VCR can automatically set the clock when the power plug is first connected to an AC outlet.

ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUBSCRIBERS

If you perform the Advanced Auto Clock Set procedure . . .

●Select the PBS channel on your cable box before plugging your VCR’s power plug into the AC outlet. (If you have more than one PBS channel, you may have to select an alternative PBS channel if Advanced Auto Clock Set is not successful.)

●If there is no PBS channel in your area, perform the Manual Clock Set procedure (☞ pg. 11).

●For automatic clock adjustment to take place the VCR's power must be off and the cable box must be set to the PBS channel at clock adjustment times.

●If you perform Advanced Auto Clock Set successfully, D.S.T. will be set to “AUTO”. At the D.S.T. adjustment time (☞ pg. 11), your VCR's power must be off and your cable box must be set to the host PBS channel in your area for the D.S.T. adjustment to take place. If the clock is not set correctly, change the D.S.T. setting to “ON” or “OFF. See step 9 of Semi-Auto procedure (☞ pg. 10) or step 6 of Manual procedure (☞ pg. 11).

The Advanced Auto Clock Set function scans all the channels received by your VCR to find the Host Channel and then sets the clock.

*Don’t turn the power on until the time (or “- - : - - ”) appears on the front display panel.

Before the clock is set, AUTO appears on the display.

NOT SET SET

PM

After setting, the current time appears (in hours and minutes).

The Advanced Auto Clock Set function will normally set the clock correctly. However, if an incorrect time is displayed on the front display panel, you may be receiving the clock setting data of a PBS channel from an adjacent time zone, or an incorrect PBS channel from a cable TV system. In this case, perform the Semi-Auto (☞ pg. 10) or Manual (☞ pg. 11) clock setting procedure.

If "AUTO CLOCK SET" or "SEMI-AUTO CLOCK SET" is selected at the Override Auto Clock Set screen on page 10, the clock will be adjusted automatically by the Host PBS every hour on the hour (except for 11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) by the incoming PBS channel clock setting data. (This automatic clock adjustment can only be performed when the VCR’s power is turned off. The clock will be adjusted on the hour based on the time displayed on the VCR, not on the actual real time.) The default setting is "AUTO CLOCK SET".

If “- - : - - ” appears on the display, your antenna cable may not be connected to the VCR, there may not be a Host PBS signal available in your area, or your cable box may not be set to the PBS channel. If the antenna connection or cable box setting is incorrect, connect the antenna cable to the VCR or select the correct cable channel. Then power on and power off the VCR, the Advanced Auto Clock Set mode will be automatically reactivated and "Auto" will be displayed on the VCR's front panel. If everything is connected and set correctly, perform the Manual Clock Set procedure (☞ pg. 11).

NOTE:

If, due to a power outage or other event, the memory backup fails, Advanced Auto Clock Set is performed when power is restored to the VCR.
