Cable Box Setup – This setup applies only when all channels
are received through a cable box. In this case, the VCR will
default to the channel used to view cable box programming
during timer recordings. If you use your cable box to receive
only some channels, you won’t be able to use this feature and
will have to change the channels on your cable box and VCR
manually.
If you choose ALL Channels, enter the output channel of the
cable box (usually 03 or 04), or if A/V jacks connect the VCR to
the cable box, press the INPUT button on the VCR’s remote
control.
TIME menu – accesses settings for VCR’s time and date information.
Set Time and Dateallows you to manually set the VCR’s time
and date information instead of using the Auto Clock Set feature.
When the SET TIME AND DATE menu is on the screen, use the
number buttons on the remote to enter the information — you
must press 0 before single digits (for example, 03/17/02 for
March 17th, 2002).
Auto Clock Set press the 2 button repeatedly to switch
between on and off. If you turn Auto Clock off, you’ll need to
manually set the time and date in order for the VCR’s recording
features to work. (Only available in some areas.)
Set Time ZoneWhen the SET TIME ZONE menu is on the
screen, use the number buttons on the remote to enter the
information.
If you select Automatic for your time zone, the VCR sets the
clock using the first time information it finds from the broadcast
signal. If the time set isn’t correct, select another time zone or set
the time manually.

saving time (DST).
If you choose Automatic for the time zone, the VCR sets the
clock using any DST information broadcast in the channel’s
signal.
