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.

“Auto tuning memory” appears on screen. The VCR
scans all 125 channels and memorizes each active
channel in your area in succession. It takes about
4-6 minutes.

When Auto Tuning is completed, the VCR will select
the channel that carries the XDS signal and proceed
to Auto Clock setting.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@01
@@@@@@@Clock@set
The Auto Clock setting normally takes about
3 minutes. During this time, the VCR’s front panel
shows the channel number that is sending the XDS
signal for Auto Clock setting. Make a note of this
number, which you may need to refer to for
readjusting the clock later (see page 19).
If the Auto Clock setting entered the incorrect date
and/or time, correct it by following the steps under
Automatic Clock Adjustment on page 19.
If no XDS signal is available in your area:
“Clock set” will not appear on the screen when the
Auto Tuning operation is completed. Instead, the TV
program on the lowest channel that the VCR
memorized will appear on screen. In this case, you
must set the clock manually. Follow the steps under
Manual Clock Setting on page 20.
NOTES:
œ
The VCR will search for and memorize channels in the
CATV (cable TV) mode and TV mode.
œ
If the AC power to the VCR is interrupted for more than
1 hour, the memorized RF output channel, channel and
clock may be erased.
