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
