Manually Setting the Clock
Note:
The clock must be accurately set for
proper automatic timer and quick timer record-
ing. We suggest you refer to a radio station or
time/temperature service for the correct time.
If the
SET
CLOCK
menu already appears on
the screen, skip to Step 3.
1. Press
MENU
. Use
SEL
s/t to highlight
SET
CLOCK
, then press
SET
.
2. Use
SEL
s/t to highlight
MANUAL
SET
, then
press
SET
.
3. Use
SEL
s/t to select the correct month,
then press
SET
.
4. Use
SEL
s/t to select the correct date, then
press
SET
.
5. Use
SEL
s/t to select the correct year, then
press
SET
.
6. Use
SEL
s/t to select the correct hour, then
press
SET
. Your VCR uses a 12-hour clock.
Be sure you correctly set AM or PM.
7. Use
SEL
s/t to select a time 1 or 2 minutes
after the current time, then press
SET
. (For
example, if it is 42 minutes past the hour
right now, enter 43 or 44 minutes now.)
This gives you time to complete this proce-
dure before starting the clock.
8. Use
SEL
s/t to set
DST
(daylight saving
time) to
ON
or
OFF
.
When you set
DST
to
ON
, the VCR auto-
matically adds 1 hour on the first Sunday in
April, and subtracts 1 hour on the last Sun-
day in October.
9. Review the entered information.
If the information is not correct, move the
cursor to the wrong entry using
SET
or
CLEAR
and enter the correct information.
When the information is correct, press
MENU
twice when the time reaches the
minute you set in Step 7. The clock-setting
mode display changes to the normal dis-
play and the clock starts running.
Note:
Seconds begin counting from 00
when you press
MENU
twice.
