14 Setting the Clock

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, you must set the clock man- ually.

Follow the instructions under either manual clock setting or auto- matic clock setting (page 16) 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.)

You make each entry within 60 seconds of the previous entry. (If you do not, you may start again at step 1.)

Helpful Hints

To display the time, press the STA- TUS/EXIT button. A status display, which includes the time, will appear on the TV screen for about five sec- onds. For details, see “On-Screen Status Displays” on page 24.

If you press the STATUS/EXIT but- ton while you are setting the clock, the TV screen will return to the pro- gram you were watching. If this happens, start over.

Power failures that last for more than one minute can cause you to lose your clock setting if you set the clock manually. If this happens, reset the clock.
