You'll need to set the clock when first hooking up your VCR, and any time the power goes out for more than 1
hour. When you first plug in the VCR or after a power outage, the clock display will read "--:--".
Auto clock set function
This function sets the VCR's clock automatically when the VCR is tuned to a station which transmits a time signal
together with TV programs.
It also automatically sets the time differences between various time zones and sets the time during Daylight
Saving Time (D.S.T). The auto clock set function operates each time the VCR is turned off.
• Some broadcast stations may not transmit a time signal. The auto clock set function does not operate when the
VCR is tuned to a station which does not transmit a time signal. In this case, set the clock manually (See page
20).
• When the clock is set automatically, the displayed time may drift from the current time by up to one minute.
Setting the clock automatically - if your VCR's hooked up to an antenna
or cable without a cable box (Hookups A, B, C or D)
1 Press the POWER button to turn the VCR power off.
If the VCR is already turned off, press the POWER button to turn the power on, then press it again to turn the
power off. The time will appear in the VCR display to show that the current time has been set. The automatic
clock set procedure might take about 5 minutes.
