SETTING THE CLOCK

You must set the clock accurately for proper automatic timer recording. In many areas, Pub- lic Broadcasting Service (PBS) stations broad- cast an Extend Data Service (EDS) signal with their regular broadcast. This signal can auto- matically set your Model 36’s clock to the cor- rect time. If a PBS station is available in your area, follow the steps under “Auto Clock Set- ting.” If not, follow the steps under “Manual Clock Setting” on Page 18.

Auto Clock Setting

Confirm that the antenna connections are cor- rect before using auto clock setting.

Note: Since DC power is often interrupted, you cannot use auto clock setting when you power the Model 36 using DC power. And, if your TV/ VCR is connected directly to a cable converter box, the box must be turned on and tuned to the local PBS station.

If you do not know the PBS channel num- ber, repeatedly press F.FWD/ or REW/ until AUTO appears. This sets the Model 36

to automatically search all available chan- nels for an EDS signal.

5.Press MENU to exit.

6.Press POWER to turn off the Model 36 so it can search for an EDS signal. The power must remain off during this search. If you entered the channel number manually, it may take a few minutes for this search to be completed. If you chose AUTO, the Model 36 searches through all the available channels starting with the lowest numbered channel. This search could take up to 10 minutes if the local PBS station is on a high-numbered channel in your area.

If the Model 36 finds an EDS signal, the time appears on the TV screen.

If the time set by the selected PBS station is in- correct, the station might be in a different time zone. If the Model 36 does not display the time within about 10 minutes, there might be no sta- tion broadcasting an EDS signal in your area. Set the clock manually and turn off the auto clock setting feature.
