SETTING THE CLOCK
Generally, during the initial setup, your VCR will
automatically set the clock by detecting a channel that is
transmitting the XDS (Extended Data Services) signal.
However, if the XDS signal necessary for Automatic
Clock Setting was poor or unavailable at the time,
Automatic Clock Setting may not have been possible.
Follow the steps below to set the clock.
œTurn on the power (TV and VCR).
œSet the TV to channel 3 or 4.
œIf the VCR indicator is off, press the TV/VCR button
on the remote control.
The VCR indicator lights.
1Press the STOP button, then enter the channel
number that you have made note of during Automatic
Clock Setting (see page 13).
2Press and hold the PAUSE/STILL button for more
than 2 seconds.
If the channel is transmitting the XDS signal,
“Clock set” starts blinking on screen after
approximately 4 seconds.
When Automatic Clock Setting is completed, the
screen shows the current TV program.
If the screen returns to the current TV program
immediately, the XDS signal for clock setting is not
available in your area. Use the Manual Clock
Setting procedure on page 19.
NOTE: If the Automatic Clock Setting procedure set the
wrong clock time, follow the steps under Automatic Clock
Adjustment.

be entered again at the next automatic clock
adjustment.

has been set automatically.
œThe automatic clock adjustment will not be performed if
the power is on, or if a program timer recording is set to
start within 5 minutes of the automatic clock adjustment
times (2:55 AM – 3:05 AM and 5:55 AM – 6:05 AM).
