Setting the Clock
This is easy to do and important for your later timed recordings.
You'll need to set the clock when first hooking up your VCR, and any time
the power goes out more than 1 hour.
When you first plug in the VCR or after a power outage, the clock display
will read "--:--".
To set the clock, press GUIDE, then press 6 to bring up the Clock Set
screen:
Press the number buttons on the remote control to set the current time -
two digits for the hour and two for the minutes. Then press 1 or 2 for AM
or PM, respectively.
For example, if it is now 2:15 PM, press 0, 2, 1, and 5 for hours and
minutes, and press 2 for PM.
Continue pressing buttons to set the date. For example, if today is July 8,
1995, press 0, 7, 0, 8, 9, and 5 to get 07/ 08/ 95.
When you're done, press GUIDE twice to return to regular viewing.
If the SETUP VCR PLUS message continues flashing, set VCR Plus+
channels referring to the procedure in "Matching Broadcast CH numbers
to VCR Plus+ channels" on page 43. You may set the VCR Plus+
channels after you are familiar with your VCR.
Tips:
The item to be changed will blink on the screen as you go.
The clock uses the 12-hour system. You set it for AM or PM.
An illogical time (like 13 for the hour or 20 for the month) will not be
accepted. A question mark displays instead of the illogical number.
If you press the wrong digit, exit the screen by pressing GUIDE and
recall the screen to enter the correct setup.
The day of the week is set automatically.
