ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUBSCRIBERS

If you perform the Advanced Auto Clock Set procedure . . .

●Select the PBS channel on your cable box before plugging

your VCR’s power plug into the AC outlet. (If you have

more than one PBS channel, you may have to select an

alternative PBS channel if Advanced Auto Clock Set is not

successful.)

●If there is no PBS channel in your area, perform the

Manual Clock Set procedure (Z pg. 11).

●For automatic clock adjustment to take place the VCR's

power must be off and the cable box must be set to the

PBS channel at clock adjustment times.

●If you perform Advanced Auto Clock Set successfully,

D.S.T. will be set to “AUTO”. At the D.S.T. adjustment time

(Z pg. 11), your VCR's power must be off and your cable

box must be set to the host PBS channel in your area for the

D.S.T. adjustment to take place. If the clock is not set

correctly, change the D.S.T. setting to “ON” or “OFF. See

step 9 of Semi-Auto procedure (Z pg. 10) or step 6 of

Manual procedure (Z pg. 11).

Advanced Auto Clock Set

The time and date can be set automatically from clock setting data

that is transmitted by one of the regular TV broadcast channels.

We call this TV channel the "Host Channel" and it is a PBS channel

in your area. With the antenna cable connected, your VCR can

automatically set the clock when the power plug is first

connected to an AC outlet.

The Advanced Auto Clock Set function scans all the channels

received by your VCR to find the Host Channel and then sets

the clock.

*Don’t turn the power on until the time (or “- - : - - ”) appears on

the front display panel.

Before the clock is set, AUTO appears on the display.

After setting, the current time appears (in hours and minutes).

The Advanced Auto Clock Set function will normally set the

clock correctly. However, 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 Semi-Auto (Z pg. 10) or Manual (Z pg. 11) clock

setting procedure.

If "AUTO CLOCK SET" or "SEMI-AUTO CLOCK SET" is selected

at the Override Auto Clock Set screen on page 10, the clock

will be adjusted automatically by the Host PBS every hour on

the hour (except for 11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00

AM) by the incoming PBS channel clock setting data. (This

automatic clock adjustment can only be performed when the

VCR’s power is turned off. The clock will be adjusted on the

hour based on the time displayed on the VCR, not on the actual

real time.) The default setting is "AUTO CLOCK SET".

If “- - : - - ” appears on the display, your antenna cable may not

be connected to the VCR, there may not be a Host PBS signal

available in your area, or your cable box may not be set to the

PBS channel. If the antenna connection or cable box setting is

incorrect, connect the antenna cable to the VCR or select the

correct cable channel. Then power on and power off the VCR,

the Advanced Auto Clock Set mode will be automatically

reactivated and "Auto" will be displayed on the VCR's front

panel. If everything is connected and set correctly, perform the

Manual Clock Set procedure (Z pg. 11).

NOTE:

If, due to a power outage or other event, the memory backup

fails, Advanced Auto Clock Set is performed when power is

restored to the VCR.
