Setting the Clock
You have to set the clock using either Setting the Auto Clock or Setting the
Clock Manually.

Setting the Auto Clock

Your VCR can set the clock automatically by picking up a time signal which some
TV and cable channels transmit with their broadcasts. Most PBS stations send this
signal; however, this function works only if a channel in your area is broadcasting a
time signal. If you don’t receive this signal, set the clock manually.
1Press MENU on the remote control. VCR Main Menu will appear.
2Press the ADJUST buttons to select First Time Set-Up. Press ENTER. The
First Time Set-Up menu will appear. Use the ADJUST buttons to select Set the
clock. Press ENTER.
3You will see the Set the clock menu. Auto clock set will be highlighted. Press
the ADJUST buttons to select ON.
4Turn the VCR off to activate the Auto Clock setting function.
The VCR will search for a channel that carries a time signal, then set your time
zone and daylight saving time. If there are only a few channels in your area that
carry time signals, it may take about 30 minutes to complete. If you turn the VCR
on before the correct time displays, the Auto Clock setting will be cancelled. See if
the clock has been set on the front panel display on the VCR.
If the VCR displays the wrong time, the time zone setting may not be correct. To
adjust this, follow the steps in If the VCR displays the wrong time. (See the next
page.)
IMPORTANT
The auto clock function will activate whenever you turn off the VCR and at
3:00 am, when the VCR power is off. If you use a cable box, make sure that
you leave the cable box on and tuned to the local PBS station to activate the
auto clock function.
After a power failure, the VCR will automatically set the clock again. (If you
have set the Auto clock set setting of the Set the clock menu to OFF, the Auto
Clock function will not work.)
