NOTES:

Auto Clock and Just Clock require a PDC signal, and will not operate with a VPS signal.

Just Clock (when set to "ON") enables adjustment of the recorder's built-in clock every hour on the hour, except for 11 o'clock in the evening and midnight.

Just Clock is not effective when . . .

the recorder’s power is on (unless the recorder is tuned to the same channel position selected in the Clock Set screen).

the recorder is in the Timer mode.

a difference of more than 3 minutes exists between the built-in clock’s time and the actual time.

If Just Clock is set to "ON", the recorder’s clock is automati- cally adjusted at the start/end of Summer Time.

Auto clock setting and Just Clock may not function properly depending on the reception condition.

During Manual clock setting, if the day and month data are invalid (such as 31st April), the month digits are cleared automatically and the day digits begin blinking. Input the correct data.

If, in step 3 of the Manual clock setting procedure, the year digits are automatically cleared and the day digits begin blinking, it is possible that you have input 29th February for a

non-leap year. Input the correct data.
