Spring Forward ; Fall Back
In the Spring, daylight-saving time begins on the first Sunday 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 any timer recordings falling within this time frame.
In the Autumn, daylight-saving time ends on the last Sunday in October.
The VCR clock automatically changes from 2:00 AM to 1:00 AM (back one hour). Therefore, it can
also affect your recording length.
