Setting Up the VCR
Auto Clock Info
With a cable box, the VCR will not
reset the clock after a power outage
unless the cable box is set to the
channel carrying the broadcast signal.
If Auto Clock Set is unsuccessful, try
tuning the VCR (or cable box) to a
channel carrying Allset time data
(usually PBS), then turn the VCR off. If
the time does not set within 10
minutes, set the time and date
manually through the Time menu.
Check local cable system or TV
stations for availability of channels
with Allset information.

time zone or set the time and date through the menu
system.
