INITIAL SETTINGS
Plug & Play
The Plug & Play function sets the clock and tuner channels
automatically when power is first connected to the VCR. The
antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play function.
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.
Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set
PLUG & PLAY SETUP
1
Connect the antenna cable to the VCR (੬ pg. 6). Then
connect the VCR’s power plug to an AC outlet. Do not
power on the VCR. The clock and tuner channels will
automatically be set.
● Auto clock set is performed first. The auto clock set
function scans all the channels received by your VCR
to find the Host Channel and then sets the clock.
"Auto" blinks on the front display panel during Auto
clock set.
● Auto channel set is performed next. The auto channel
set function scans all the channels that are receivable
by your VCR. It then automatically assigns each
receivable channels to the CH▲▼ buttons. It skips
non-receivable channels. During auto channel set the
channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned
and set.
● When Plug & Play has been completed successfully the
correct time is displayed.
● 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 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. 10) or Manual
Clock Set (੬ pg. 11) procedure. Auto channel set has
already taken place and it need not be set again.
● 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. Ensure that the
antenna cable is connected correctly. If you use a cable
box ensure that your local PBS is selected on your cable
box (੬ ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUBSCRIBERS). Then
power on and power off the VCR; the Plug & Play
function will be automatically reactivated and "Auto"
will be displayed on the VCR's front panel. If everything
is connected and set correctly, perform the Manual
Clock Set procedure (੬ pg. 11). Auto channel set has
not yet taken place, so please also perform the “Set
Receivable Channels” procedure (੬ pg. 12).
IMPORTANT
● Don’t press any buttons on the VCR or remote while
Plug & Play is in progress.
● If you perform Plug & Play successfully, there’s no need to
perform the Clock (੬ pg. 9) and Tuner (੬ pg. 12)
procedures. If, however, you want to add or delete
channels, refer to “Add Or Delete A Channel” on page 14.
ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUBSCRIBERS
If you perform the Plug & Play 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 Plug & Play is not successful.)
● If there is no PBS channel in your area, perform the
Manual Clock Set procedure (੬ 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 Plug & Play successfully, D.S.T. will be set to
“AUTO”. At the D.S.T. adjustment time (੬ 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 (੬ pg. 10) or step 6 of Manual procedure (੬
pg. 11).
NOTE:
If the memory backup fails, because of a power outage or because
the AC was removed from the VCR, Plug & Play will be performed
when power is restored to the VCR.
