in April. Because the clock
automatically changes from
2:00 AM to 3:00 AM
(forward one hour), remember
to include the extra hour for
timer recording falling within
this time frame. 

In the Autumn, daylight-saving
time ends on the last Sunday in

The VCR clock automatically
changes from 2:00 AM to
1:00 AM (back one hour).
Therefore, it can affect your
recording length.
