Auto clock setting
The Auto Clock function will automatically set the built- in clock (Month, Day, Year and Time) when the DVD/ VCR is connected to an Antenna or Cable system and it is turned off. As the DVD/VCR searches for a receivable station in your area and it receives a broadcast signal for Auto Clock, the Auto Clock needs several minutes to set itself.
