Setting Up Your VCR
Setting the Clock
You have to set the clock using either Setting the Auto Clock or Setting the Clock Manually before you can program your VCR to record.
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 donÕt 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
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.)
