AUTO CLOCK SETTING

The Auto Clock function will automatically set the built-in clock (Month, Day, Year and Time) when the TV/VCR is connected to an Antenna or Cable system and it is turned off. As the TV/VCR searches for a receivable station in your area and it receives a broadcast signal for Auto Clock, the Auto Clock needs several minutes to set itself.
