Automatic Clock setting
The time and date can be set automatically from additional clock
setting data that is transmitted by one of the regular TV broadcast
channels. We call this TV channel the "Host Channel" and it is a
PBS channel in your area. With the antenna cable connected,
your VCR can automatically set the clock when the power plug
is first connected to an AC outlet.
The auto clock function scans all the channels received by your
VCR to find the clock setting data of the Host Channel.
*Don’t turn the power on until the time (or “- - : - - ”) appears on
the front display panel.
Before the clock is set, AUTO appears on the display.
After setting, the current time appears (in hours and minutes).
The automatic clock setting function will normally set the clock
correctly. However, if an incorrect time is displayed on the front
display panel, you may be receiving the clock setting data of a
PBS channel from an adjacent time zone, or an incorrect PBS
channel from a cable TV system. In this case, perform the Semi-
Auto (੬ pg. 9) or Manual (੬ pg. 10) clock setting procedure.
If "AUTO" remains in the display for more than 30 minutes,
perform the Semi-Auto (੬ pg. 9) or Manual (੬ pg. 10) clock
setting procedure. In the case of Semi-Auto, you have to set the
Host Channel manually.
If "AUTO CLOCK SET" or "SEMI-AUTO CLOCK SET" is selected,
the clock will be adjusted automatically by the Host PBS every
hour on the hour (except for 11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and
2:00 AM) according to the incoming PBS channel clock setting
data. (Automatic clock adjustments can only be received when
the VCR’s power is turned off.)
If “- - : - - ” appears on the display, your antenna cable may not
be connected to the VCR, there may not be a Host PBS signal
available in your area, or your cable box may not be set to the
PBS channel. If everything is connected and set correctly,
perform the manual clock setting procedure (੬ pg. 10).
ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUBSCRIBERS
If you perform Auto or Semi-Auto clock setting procedures . . .
● Select the PBS channel on your cable box before plugging
your VCR's power plug into the AC outlet. (If you have
more than one PBS channel, you may have to select the
PBS channel if Auto clock setting is not successful.)
● The cable box must be set to the PBS channel at clock
adjustment times, or the adjustment will not take place.
● If you perform Auto clock setting successfully, D.S.T. will
be set to “AUTO”. In this case, at the D.S.T. adjustment
time (੬ pg. 9), your cable box must be set to the host
PBS channel in your area or the adjustment will not take
place. If the clock is not set correctly, change the D.S.T.
setting to “ON” or “OFF” (see step 6 of Semi-Auto
procedure, or step 3 of Manual procedure).
