CLOCK SET UP
(AUTO / MANUAL)
Set the clock accurately for proper automatic timer
recording. If the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) is
available in your area, follow “AUTO CLOCK SET-
TING”. If it is not, follow “MANUAL CLOCK SET-
TING”.
AUTO CLOCK SETTING
You can have the TV/VCR set the clock automatical-
ly by using the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS)
channel in your area. Once you have set the clock by
using the following procedure, the TV/VCR will
automatically monitor the correct time and date being
broadcast by the PBS station in your area, using a
new service called Extended Data Service (XDS).
Make sure ...
•
TV/VCR power must be turned on.
•
Confirm that the antenna connections are correct.
•
The cable converter box must be turned on if your
TV/VCR is connected directly to it. (See NOTES:)
•
The channel is properly set in advance. (See page
13.)
NOTES:
•
Auto clock setting only needs to be set once. But it
can be done again if the clock’s time has become
incorrect for some reason.
•
If the TV/VCR is connected directly to a cable
converter box or satellite box, the local PBS station
must be selected on the cable box itself, and the
TV/VCR must be set to the output channel of the
cable converter box or satellite box (usually chan-
nel 3 or 4), to be able to set up or correct the clock
automatically.
If you do not know what your local PBS station is,
then follow “Manual Clock Settings” on page 15.
The TV/VCR cannot control the channels of the
cable converter box or satellite box.
