CLOCK SET UP
(AUTO / MANUAL)
Set the clock accurately for proper automatic timer recording. If the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) is available in your area, follow “AUTO CLOCK SET- TING”. If it is not, follow “MANUAL CLOCK SET- TING”.
AUTO CLOCK SETTING
You can have the TV/VCR set the clock automatical- ly by using the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) channel in your area. Once you have set the clock by using the following procedure, the TV/VCR will automatically monitor the correct time and date being broadcast by the PBS station in your area, using a new service called Extended Data Service (XDS).
Make sure ...
•TV/VCR power must be turned on.
•Confirm that the antenna connections are correct.
•The cable converter box must be turned on if your TV/VCR is connected directly to it. (See NOTES:)
•The channel is properly set in advance. (See page 13.)
NOTES:
•Auto clock setting only needs to be set once. But it can be done again if the clock’s time has become incorrect for some reason.
•If the TV/VCR is connected directly to a cable converter box or satellite box, the local PBS station must be selected on the cable box itself, and the TV/VCR must be set to the output channel of the cable converter box or satellite box (usually chan- nel 3 or 4), to be able to set up or correct the clock automatically.
If you do not know what your local PBS station is, then follow “Manual Clock Settings” on page 15. The TV/VCR cannot control the channels of the cable converter box or satellite box.
•If you use a mobile connection, you cannot set the Auto Clock and D.S.T. functions.

If you choose [AUTO],
•the TV/VCR must search until the PBS channel is found. It must scan each channel for a couple of seconds to determine if that channel is transmitting the XDS signal.
•if the time, that is automatically set by this selected PBS station is incorrect, it may not be your local PBS station, but one from a different time zone. Or there is a case that no channel is broadcasting the XDS signal in your area, as shown by no time. In these cases, you must manually enter the correct local PBS station, or set the clock manually and turn off the Auto Clock Setting feature.
