Philips VRA631AT owner manual Setting the Clock, Manual Clock Setting

There are two ways to set the clock. With manual clock setting, you tell the VCR the current time. With automatic clock setting, the VCR gets the current time from your local PBS station. It keeps track of the time by constantly referring to the time broad- casted by your PBS station.

If you are using a Cable Box or Direct Broadcast System, you must set the clock manually.

Follow the instructions under either manual clock setting or auto- matic clock setting (page 17) to set the VCR’s clock. Before you begin, make sure:

●The VCR is hooked up and turned on, and channels are pro- grammed into the VCR’s memory (see pages six - 12).

●The VCR is in VCR position. The VCR light will appear on the display panel. If it does not, press the VCR/TV button once.

Do each step within 60 seconds of the previous step.
