ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUBSCRIBERS
If you perform the Advanced Auto Clock Set procedure . . .
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 an
alternative PBS channel if Advanced Auto Clock Set is not
successful.)
If there is no PBS channel in your area, perform the
Manual Clock Set procedure ( pg. 11).
For automatic clock adjustment to take place the VCR's
power must be off and the cable box must be set to the
PBS channel at clock adjustment times.
If you perform Advanced Auto Clock Set successfully,
D.S.T. will be set to “AUTO”. At the D.S.T. adjustment time
( pg. 11), your VCR's power must be off and your cable
box must be set to the host PBS channel in your area for the
D.S.T. adjustment to take place. If the clock is not set
correctly, change the D.S.T. setting to “ON” or “OFF. See
step 9 of Semi-Auto procedure ( pg. 10) or step 6 of
Manual procedure ( pg. 11).
Advanced Auto Clock Set
The time and date can be set automatically from 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 Advanced Auto Clock Set function scans all the channels
received by your VCR to find the Host Channel and then sets
the clock.
*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 Advanced Auto Clock Set 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 (
pg. 10) or Manual ( pg. 11) clock
setting procedure.
If "AUTO CLOCK SET" or "SEMI-AUTO CLOCK SET" is selected
at the Override Auto Clock Set screen on page 10, 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) by the incoming PBS channel clock setting data. (This
automatic clock adjustment can only be performed when the
VCR’s power is turned off. The clock will be adjusted on the
hour based on the time displayed on the VCR, not on the actual
real time.) The default setting is "AUTO CLOCK SET".
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 the antenna connection or cable box setting is
incorrect, connect the antenna cable to the VCR or select the
correct cable channel. Then power on and power off the VCR,
the Advanced Auto Clock Set mode will be automatically
reactivated and "Auto" will be displayed on the VCR's front
panel. If everything is connected and set correctly, but Ad-
vanced Auto Clock Set is not performed, perform the Manual
Clock Set procedure (
pg. 11).
NOTE:
If, due to a power outage or other event, the memory backup
fails, Advanced Auto Clock Set is performed when power is
restored to the VCR.
