INITIAL SETTINGS
Plug & Play Set
Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set
This VCR sets the clock and tuner channels automatically
when AC power cord is first connected to an AC outlet.
The antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play
setting.
The time and date can be set automatically by the clock
setting data transmitted from one of the regular TV
broadcast channels. We call this TV channel the “host
channel” and it is a PBS channel in your area.
A
Perform Plug & Play setup.
Connect the antenna cable to the VCR (
੬
pg. 12). Then
connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet. Do not turn
on the VCR.
The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically.
NOTES:
●
Auto Clock Set is performed first.
“Auto” blinks on the front display panel during Auto Clock Set.
●
Auto Channel Set is performed next. Auto Channel Set scans
all the channels that are receivable by your VCR. During Auto
Channel Set, the channel numbers are displayed as they are
scanned and set.
●
When Plug & Play setting has been complete successfully, the
correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play
setting successfully, there is no need to perform “Clock Set”
(
੬
pg. 16) and “Tuner Set” (
੬
pg. 18). If, however, you want
to add or delete channels, refer to “Manual Channel Set”
(
੬
pg. 19).
* If an incorrect clock time or “– –:– –” appears on the display panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed” below.
ATTENTION:
●
If you use a cable box, Plug&Play will not function; set the
clock and tuner channels separately. (
੬
pg. 16 – 19)
●
Depending on areas or reception conditions, the VCR may
not receive the Auto clock setting data from the PBS
channel. If this function is taking a considerable amount of
time, it may be necessary to perform the Semiauto or
Manual Clock Set procedure.

INFORMATION
●
If “AUTO CLOCK” is set to “ON” (
੬
pg. 17), the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host channel every hour (except
11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) using the incoming PBS channel clock setting data. (This automatic clock
adjustment can only be performed when the VCR is turned off. The clock will be adjusted just on these hours — on the time
displayed on the front display panel, not on the actual real time.) The default setting of “AUTO CLOCK” is “ON”. (
੬
pg. 17)
●
If the memory backup fails, because a power outage occurs or because the AC power cord is unplugged, Plug & Play will be
performed when power is restored to the VCR.
What to do if Plug & Play setting failed
●
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 “Semiauto Clock Set” (
੬
pg. 17)
or “Manual Clock Set” (
੬
pg. 17).
●
If “– –:– –” appears on the front display panel, your antenna cable may not be connected to the VCR or there may not be a Host
PBS signal available in your area. Ensure that the antenna cable is connected correctly. Then turn on and off the VCR; the Plug &
Play setting will be automatically reactivated. If Plug & Play setting is not performed though the antenna cable is connected
correctly, perform “Manual Clock Set” (
੬
pg. 17) and “Auto Channel Set” (
੬
pg. 18) or “Manual Channel Set” (
੬
pg. 19).
During Initial Auto Clock Set
“Auto” blinks.
During Auto Channel Set
The channel numbers are displayed
as they are scanned and set.
Plug&Play Completed
The current time is displayed.
