IMPORTANT
● Don’t press any buttons on the VCR or remote during
Dual Quick Set.
● If you perform Dual Quick Set successfully, there’s no need
to perform the Clock (੬ pg. 8) 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.
PERFORM DUAL QUICK SET
1
Make sure that the antenna cable is connected to the
VCR. Then connect the VCR’s power plug to an AC
outlet. For connection configuration, refer to “Basic
Connections” (੬ pg. 6). The clock and tuner channels
will automatically be set.
● Auto clock set is performed first. AUTO is displayed
on the Front Display Panel during Auto clock set.
Auto Channel set is performed next. The channel
numbers are displayed in ascending order during
auto channel set. When Dual Quick Set has been
completed successfully the correct time is displayed.
● The clock can 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.)
● 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 procedure (੬ pg. 9).
Auto channel set (੬ pg. 12) 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. 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).
With the antenna cable connected the Dual Quick Set function
allows the clock and tuner to be set automatically when the
power plug is first connected to an AC outlet.
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.
The auto clock set function scans all the channels received by
your VCR to find the clock setting data of the Host Channel.
The auto channel set function scans all the channels received
by your VCR, then automatically assigns receivable channels to
the CH

buttons, and skips non-receivable channels.

your VCR's power must be off and your cable box must be
