INITIAL SETUP
When you are setting up the VCR for the first time, or after the power has failed for more than 1 hour, follow the steps below. This AUTO SETUP operation automatically sets the RF output channel, enters all available channels in your area into the VCR tuner memory and sets the VCR internal clock.
Many TV stations transmit a signal called Extended Data Services (XDS). This VCR uses the XDS signal to automatically set the clock. If no XDS signal is available in your area, the VCR prompts you to set the clock manually.

The Auto Clock setting normally takes about
