TTENTION:

Depending on areas or reception conditions, the VCR may not
receive the Auto clock setting data from a PBS channel. If this
function is taking a considerable amount of time, it may be
necessary to perform the procedure in “Semiauto Clock Set”

basic recording.
●If you connect the TV and the VCR only using the RF

NOTES:
●The VCR channel is the channel on which you can watch the

●Even if you are using audio/video cables to connect your VCR to
your TV, you must also connect it using the RF cable. This will
ensure that you can record one show while watching another.
