INFORMATION

●If "AUTO CLOCK SET" or "SEMI-AUTO CLOCK SET" is selected at the Override Auto Clock Set screen on page 12, the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host channel 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 the memory backup fails, because of a power outage or because the AC was removed from the VCR, Plug & Play will be performed when power is restored to the VCR.

What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed

●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. 12) or Manual Clock Set (☞ pg. 13) procedure. Auto channel set has already taken place and it need not be set again.

●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. Ensure that the antenna cable is connected correctly. If you use a cable box ensure that your local PBS channel is selected on your cable box (☞ pg. 8 ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUB- SCRIBERS). Then power on and power off the VCR; the Plug & Play function will be automatically reactivated and "Auto" will be

displayed on the VCR's front panel. If Plug & Play is not performed but everything is connected and set correctly, perform the Manual Clock Set procedure (☞ pg. 13). Auto channel set has not yet taken place, so please also perform the “Set Receivable Channels” procedure (☞ pg. 14).
