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 "--:--

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 Savings Time (DST). 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 25).
When the clock is set automatically, the displayed time may drift from the current time
by up to one minute.
Setting the Clock with the Auto Clock Set Function
When the VCR is hooked up via an antenna or cable (no cable box):
1. Press POWER to turn the VCR power off.
When the VCR is turned off, press POWER to turn the power on, then press it again to
turn the power off.
The set time appears in the VCR display to show that the current time has been set.
It may take about five minutes for auto clock setting.
If the clock is not set after about five minutes have elapsed, press GUIDE then set the
clock manually (See page 25).
When the VCR power is recovered after a power failure of more than one hour, the
clock can be set automatically from the "--:--" indication.
