Time and Date
Your VCR gives you two ways to set the time and date; manually or by using the Auto Clock Set
feature. Using Auto Clock Set enables the time to be updated each time the VCR is turned off by
using time and date information carried in certain broadcast signals.
Auto Clock Set Feature
The Auto Clock Set feature is set to ON by default at the factory. In the ON setting, the VCR
looks for a channel carrying time data and updates the clock automatically. In order for Auto
Clock Set to work properly though, certain steps must first be completed such as Auto Channel
Search, setting the time zone, and setting the Daylight-Saving feature.
Notes: Auto Clock Set is available only in limited areas.
You must set available channels, time zone, and Daylight-Saving settings for Auto Clock Set
to work.
When using Auto Clock Set with a cable box, the VCR will not reset the clock after a power
outage unless the cable box is tuned to the channel carrying time data.
If the time does not automatically set after trying for ten minutes, manually set the time
and date information using the TIME menu (see the next page for information on manually
setting time and date information).
To Turn Auto Clock Set ON
Note: make sure that available channels, time zone, and Daylight-Saving
features are set before turning on Auto Clock Set.
