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.10 – 14)
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. 10) and Tuner (☞ pg. 13) procedures. If, however, you want to add or delete channels, refer to “Add Or Delete A Channel” on page 14.

INFORMATION
●If "AUTO CLOCK" is set to "ON" at the Clock Set screen on page 11, the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host channel 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 of "AUTO CLOCK" is "ON".
