16 Setting the Clock

There are two ways to set the clock. With manual clock setting, you tell the VCR the current time. With automatic clock setting, the VCR gets the current time from your local PBS station. It keeps track of the time by constantly referring to the time broad- casted by your PBS station.

If you are using a Cable Box or Direct Broadcast System, you must set the clock manually.

Follow the instructions under either manual clock setting (below) or automatic clock setting (page 18) to set the VCR’s clock. If you use AUTO CLOCK, follow the steps on page 19 to have the VCR maintain the clock according to your Time Zone. The channel that supplies the time might broadcast from a different time zone. So, select your Time Zone to ensure the clock is correct. Before you begin, make sure:

●The VCR is hooked up and turned on, and channels are pro- grammed into the VCR’s memory (see pages six-12).

●The VCR is in VCR position. The VCR light will appear on the display panel. If it does not, press the VCR/TV button once.

Do each step within 60 seconds of the previous step.
