options for your state. Press to select Applies or Ignore. You may then tune to a channel on ANT 1 or ANT 2 that uses Extended Data Service (XDS) time data, typically a PBS channel. With Auto selected, the TV auto- matically retrieves the correct time and date information from this channel.
Be aware that if a channel displays incorrect time infor- mation, it is because of information sent from the broad- caster and is not a defect of the TV.
