BASIC OPERATION
INITIAL SETUP
When you are setting up the VCR for the first time, or after the power has failed for more than 5 seconds, follow the steps below. This AUTO SETUP operation automatically sets the RF output channel, enters all available channels in your area into the VCR tuner memory and sets the VCR internal clock.
Many TV stations transmit a signal called Extended Data Services (XDS). This VCR uses the XDS signal to automatically set the clock. If no XDS signal is available in your area, the VCR prompts you to set the clock manually.

The Auto Clock setting normally takes about
3 minutes. During this time, the VCR’s front panel shows the channel number that is sending the XDS signal for Auto Clock setting. Make a note of this number, which you may need to refer to for readjusting the clock later (see page 18).
If the Auto Clock setting entered the incorrect date and/or time, correct it by following the steps under Automatic Clock Adjustment on page 18.
If no XDS signal is available in your area:
“Clock set” will not appear on the screen when the Auto Tuning operation is completed. Instead, the TV program on the lowest channel that the VCR memorized will appear on screen. In this case, you must set the clock manually. Follow the steps under Manual Clock Setting on page 19.
NOTES:
œThe VCR will search for and memorize channels in the CATV (cable TV) mode and TV mode.
œIf the AC power to the VCR is interrupted for more than 5 seconds, the memorized RF output channel, channel and clock may be erased.
