Setting the Clock
You have to set the clock using either Setting the Auto Clock or Setting the
Clock Manually before you can program your VCR to record.
Setting the Auto Clock
Your VCR can set the clock automatically by picking up a time signal which some
TV and cable channels transmit with their broadcasts. Most PBS stations send this
signal; however, this function works only if a channel in your area is broadcasting a
time signal. If you don’t receive this signal, set the clock manually.
1 Press MENU on the remote control. VCR Main Menu will appear.
2 Press the ADJUST buttons to select First Time Set-Up. Press ENTER. The
First Time Set-Up menu will appear. Use the ADJUST buttons to select Set
the clock. Press ENTER.
3 You will see the Set the clock menu. Clock set will be highlighted. Press the
ADJUST buttons to select AUTO.
4 Turn the VCR off to activate the auto clock setting function.
The VCR will search for a channel that carries a time signal, then set your time
zone and daylight saving time. If there are only a few channels in your area that
carry time signals, it may take about 30 minutes to complete. If you turn the VCR
on before the correct time displays, the auto clock setting will be cancelled. See if
the clock has been set on the front panel display on the VCR.
If the VCR displays the wrong time, the time zone setting may not be correct. To
adjust this, follow the steps in If the VCR displays the wrong time. (See the
next page.)

When you memorized channels, if you chose Cable box only or
Digital cable box only, make sure you leave the cable box or digital
cable box on. At 3:00 am, when the VCR power is off, the VCR will begin
to automatically change channels on the cable box, one by one, to set the
clock. At this time you cannot use the cable box.
If you want to use the cable box at 3:00 am, turn on the VCR or set the
Clock set of the Set the clock menu to MANUAL. In both cases, auto
clock function will be cancelled.
When you memorized channels, if you chose Cable or Indoor/
outdoor ant., the VCR will set the clock as soon as you turn off the
VCR, and at 3:00 am.
After a power failure, the VCR will automatically set the clock again. (If
you have set the Clock set setting of the Set the clock menu to
MANUAL, the auto clock function will not work.)
