Note:

•If using a CableCARD™, the complete list of available channels is provided through the CableCARD and the ANT 1 option is grayed out.

•In the TV Guide On Screen® system, the chan- nels displayed and the order in which they are displayed are independent of the TV’s channel memorization. Refer to the TV Guide On Screen Interactive Program Guide User’s Manual for detailed instructions on editing channels shown in this guide.

Clock (Setup Menu)

Set the clock if you wish to use the TV’s Timer function or schedule NetCommand-controlled recordings. You can use either the manual or auto method to set the clock.

Note: If Clock Setting is set to Manual, each time the time change occurs, you must open this menu and set the TV’s clock ahead or back.

If you have selected Auto for Clock Setting, the TV’s clock adjusts automatically to daylight savings time.

Setting the Clock Automatically

Select the Time Zone and the Daylight Savings (DST)

options for your state. Press to select Applies or Ignore. You may then tune to a channel on ANT 1 or ANT 2 that uses Extended Data Service (XDS) time data, typically a PBS channel. With Auto selected, the TV auto- matically retrieves the correct time and date information from this channel.

Be aware that if a channel displays incorrect time informa- tion, it is because of information sent from the broadcaster and is not a defect of the TV.

Note: You may find that some channels send the incor- rect time and the TV clock is reset every time you tune to those channels. To prevent unwanted clock resets, first use the Auto method to set the clock from a channel sending the correct time, then change the method to Manual.
