Plug & Play

Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set

The Plug & Play function sets the clock and tuner channels automatically when power is first connected to the VCR. The antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play function.

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.

ATTENTION

If you use a cable box, Plug & Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels manually. (pg.11 – 15)

IMPORTANT

Don’t press any buttons on the VCR or remote while Plug & Play is in progress.

If you perform Plug & Play successfully, there’s no need to perform the Clock (pg. 11) and Tuner (pg. 14) procedures. If, however, you want to add or delete channels, refer to “Add Or Delete A Channel” on page 15.
