Notes:
The output channel number for most
cable boxes and DSS receivers is usu-
ally 3 or 4. Check the owner’s manual
for your cable box or DSS receiver if you
are not sure what the output channel
number is.
If you are using the audio/video jack
connections to your cable box or DSS
receiver, select

as the out-
put channel.

Then see “Manually Setting the Clock.”
7. When the VCR finishes scanning and stor-
ing channels, it searches for an EDS signal
and shows the following on the TV screen:
It takes up to 10 minutes for the VCR to set
the clock using the EDS signal. If the VCR
finds a signal, it automatically sets its clock
to the correct time and

Notes:
Your VCR protects tuner programming for
up to 24 hours in case a power failure
occurs or if the power cord becomes
unplugged. After about 24 hours without
power, the VCR loses the programming.
If you have not connected the VCR to an
antenna, cable box, DSS receiver, or
other signal source through the

jack, the VCR does not store any
channel in memory. Instead, you see:
Manually Setting the Clock
Follow these steps to set the VCR to not
search for an EDS signal then to manually set
the clock.
Notes:
The clock must be accurately set for proper
automatic timer recording. We suggest you
refer to a radio station or time/temperature
service for the correct time.
If you do not press a button within 5 min-
utes in Steps 2–9, the clock is not set. Start
again from Step 1.
