Time Zone
Select your correct time zone. Press or to select
the time zone for your area (Atlantic, Eastern, Central,
Mountain, Pacific, Alaska or Hawaii). Press to move
to the Daylight Savings box.
Daylight Savings
Press or to select either Applies or Ignore, depending
on whether or not daylight savings time is used in your area.
Note:
If Clock Setting is set to Manual, each time the time
change occurs, you must open this menu and set the
TV’s clock ahead or back.
If you have selected Auto for Clock Setting, the TV’s
clock adjusts automatically to daylight savings time.
Setting the Clock Automatically
Select the Time Zone and the Daylight Savings (DST)
options for your state. Press to select Applies or
Ignore. You may then tune to a channel on
ANT 1
or
ANT 2
that uses Extended Data Service (XDS) time data,
typically a PBS channel. With Auto selected, the TV auto-
matically retrieves the correct time and date information
from this channel.
Be aware that if a channel displays incorrect time informa-
tion, it is because of information sent from the broadcaster
and is not a defect of the TV.
Note: You may find that some channels send the incor-
rect time and the TV clock is reset every time you
tune to those channels. To prevent unwanted
clock resets, first use the Auto method to set the
clock from a channel sending the correct time,
then change the method to Manual.
Timer (Setup Menu)

The Timer feature allows you to set a day and time for the

you designated in the Timer menu.
When the Timer turns on the TV, the screen displays the
message “Press a button for the TV to stay on.” Press
any button on the remote control within five minutes if you
wish the TV to remain on.
Note: The TV clock must be set before you can use the
Timer feature.
