Plug & Play Setting

Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set

ATTENTION

●If you use a cable box, Plug & Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels separately. (☞ pg.10 – 14)

●It takes several minutes for the VCR to complete the Plug & Play setting.

●Do not press any buttons on the front panel or on the Remote while Plug & Play is in progress.

This VCR sets the clock and tuner channels automatically when AC power cord is first connected to an AC outlet. The antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play setting.

The time and date can be set automatically by the clock setting data transmitted from one of the regular TV broadcast channels. We call this TV channel the “host channel” and it is a PBS channel in your area.

1 Perform Plug & Play setup

Connect the antenna cable to the VCR

(☞ pg. 7). Then connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet. Do not turn on the VCR.

The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically.

NOTES:

●Auto Clock Set is performed first.

“Auto” blinks on the front display panel during Auto Clock Set.

●Auto Channel Set is performed next. Auto Channel Set scans all the channels that are receivable by your VCR. During Auto Channel Set, the channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.

●When Plug & Play setting has been complete successfully, the correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play setting successfully, there is no need to perform the clock (☞ pg. 10) and tuner (☞Ê pg.Ê 13) settings. If, however, you want to add or delete channels, and use the ghost reduction function, refer to Manual Channel Set on page 14.

as they are scanned and set.

 

Plug & Play Completed The current time (including AM/PM) is displayed.

*If an incorrect clock time or “– –:– –” appears on the display panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed” below.

INFORMATION

●If “AUTO CLOCK” is set to “ON” on the Clock Set screen on page 11, the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host channel every hour (except 11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) using the incoming PBS channel clock setting data. (This automatic clock adjustment can only be performed when the VCR is turned off. The clock will be adjusted just on these hours — on the time displayed on the front display panel, not on the actual real time.)

The default setting of “AUTO CLOCK” is “ON”.

●If the memory backup fails, because a power outage occurs or because the AC power cord is unplugged, Plug & Play will be performed when power is restored to the VCR.

●Poor antenna or cable signal may prevent the VCR from receiving the Auto clock setting data from the PBS channel. If this function is taking a considerable amount of time, it may be necessary to perform the Semiauto or Manual Clock Set procedure.

What to do if Plug & Play setting 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 Semiauto (☞ pg. 11) or Manual Clock Set (☞ pg. 12) procedure.

●If “- -:- -” appears on the front display panel, your antenna cable may not be connected to the VCR or there may not be a Host PBS signal available in your area. Ensure that the antenna cable is connected correctly. Then turn on and off the VCR; the Plug & Play setting will be automatically reactivated.

If Plug & Play setting is not performed though the antenna cable is connected correctly, perform Manual Clock Set (☞ pg. 12) and Auto Channel Set or Manual Channel Set (☞ pg. 13 or 14).
