A: Initial Settings (Continued)
Basic Setup
1) Set “Summer time (Daylight-Saving time)”.
DST start : Daylight-saving time begins on the first Sunday in April. The
internal clock automatically changes from 2:00 AM to 3:00 AM (forward one
hour).
DST end : Daylight-saving time ends on the last Sunday in October. At 2:00
AM the recorder clock automatically changes to 1:00 AM (back one hour).
Auto : The recorder uses clock data Broadcast by the local
(PBS) TV stations.
Use : You want to use the DST function, and you are living
in an area that applies Daylight-saving time.
No Use : You are not living in the area where Daylight-saving
time applies and you do not want to use DST function.
2) Set “Time zone”.
If you select “Auto” for your time zone, the recorder sets the clock
using the first Coordinated Universal Time information it finds. If
the auto set time is not correct, select another time zone or use
the “Manual” option.
3) Set “Channel”.
(While displaying a channel number, the number
buttons are also available to change it.)
If you do not know the clock data channel, select “Auto”. The
recorder will scan automatically to tune the channel carrying the
clock data. (generally a PBS station)
If you select this when “IR control” is “On” (
page 37), the
recorder searches 1 - 70 ch of the set top box connected to the
input which you set at “Select input” (
page 37).
• Depending on the signal condition, the recorder may take a longer time to
set the clock.
Select “Channel” to set the clock if not set correctly by “Auto”.

Press ENTER.
The clock setting starts. The display returns to the
previous screen after setting is completed.
Auto Clock Setting may take a long time.
If Auto clock setting is unsuccessful, input the time and
date via the “Manual” clock setting menu selection.
Notes
• If you set “Summer time (Daylight-Saving time)” to “Auto” and “Time zone” to “Manual”, a small time discrepancy may occur
around the hours of DST start/end.
• Even if “Time & Date setting” is set to “Auto,” a time discrepancy within 1 second should be inevitable.
• When setting both “Time & Date setting” and “Time zone” to “Auto”, you can confirm the set “Time zone” in the “Time zone”
display of the “Manual” screen in “Time & Date setting”. (The “Time zone” display of the “Manual” screen in “Time & Date
setting” will remain in “Auto”.)
• In the case of a programmed recording with the DST change-over point to Daylight-saving time, if the continuous recording
time exceeds the limit due to a time discrepancy caused by Daylight-saving time during recording, the recording stops on
that point.
Notes on summer time on this recorder
• The recording system of this recorder always conforms to its own actual clock even at the moment it gains or loses 1 hour of
shift to/from summer time. Therefore, there may be some inconsistency in the display’s digits or actual operations on that
occasion. For example, on the first Sunday in April, the actual recording length of a programmed recording from 1:00 a.m. to
4:00 a.m. will be 2 hours, not 3. Be sure to give a careful consideration to your setting or reading on-screen if a recording
period includes the moment of time shift.
• This recorder’s clock cannot lose 1 hour on the last Sunday in October even if you set “Auto” or “Use” at step 5, unless it
once gained 1 hour in April.
