Getting Started
Using the Auto Clock Set feature
Some TV and cable channels transmit time signals with their broadcasts.
Your VCR can pick up this time signal to automatically set the clock.
The Auto Clock Set feature works only if a channel in your area is
broadcasting a time signal. If broadcasters in your area are not yet
sending time signals, set the time manually (page 29).
Before you start…
• Turn on the VCR and the TV.
• Set the TV to the VCR channel (channel 3 or 4). If your TV is
connected to the VCR using A/V connections, set the TV to video
input.
• Press TV/VTR to display the VTR indicator in the VCR’s display
window.
1 Press MENU, then press the
CURSOR (>/.) buttons to move
the cursor (❚) to CLOCK SET and
press EXECUTE.
When using the EASY SET UP
procedure, skip this step.
2 Press the CURSOR (?//) buttons
to select AUTO, then press
EXECUTE.
The AUTO CLOCK SET menu appears
on the TV screen.
3 Press the CURSOR (?//) buttons
to select FULL AUTO, then press
EXECUTE.
4 To activate the Auto Clock Set
function, turn the VCR off.
The VCR automatically sets the clock.
The VCR automatically searches for a
channel that carries a time signal and
sets your time zone and daylight saving
time (if applicable).
If your clock is set, but displays the
wrong time zone or daylight saving
time, you can adjust these settings
without turning off the Auto Clock Set
feature (page 28).
When the Auto CLock Set feature does not work well
Depending on your area, the automatic clock setting feature may not set
the clock correctly. In this case, set the clock manually according to the
procedure on page 29.
Setting the clock
Notes
• The clock cannot be set
automatically if the VCR
cannot receive a channel
that carries a time signal in
your area. If so, set the clock
manually (page 29).
• If there are only a few
channels in your area that
carry time signals, setting
the clock automatically may
take up to about 30 minutes.
If nothing happens even
after you wait about 30
minutes, set the clock
manually (page 29).
• If you use Hookup 1 or 4,
make sure you leave the
cable box on.
