Set the clock accurately for proper automatic timer re-
cording. If the Public Broadcasting
Station (PBS) is
available in your area, follow "AUTO CLOCK SET-
TING". If it is not, follow "MANUAL CLOCK SET-
TING".
A UTO CLOCK
,SETTING
You can have the TV/VCR set the clock automatically
by using the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) channel
in your area. Once you have set the clock by using the
following procedure, the TV/VCR will automatically
monitor the correct time and date being broadcast by the
PBS station in your area, using a new service called Ex-
tended Data Service (XDS).
Make sure ...
• Press POWER button to turn on the TV/VCR to set
the Auto Clock to ON.
• Confirm that the antenna connections are correct.
• The cable converter box must be turned on if your
TV/VCR is connected directly to it. (See NOTES:)
• You must use the remote control for the following
steps.
NOTES:
• Auto clock setting only has to be done one time. You
may set the clock only if the clock's time has become
incorrect for some reason.
• If the TV/VCR is connected directly to a cable con-
verter box, the local PBS station must be selected on
the cable box itself, and the TV/VCR must be set to
the output channel of the cable converter box (usually
channel 3 or 4), to be able to set up or correct the
clock automatically.
The TV/VCR cannot control the channels of the ca-
ble converter box.

The TV/VCR will automatically
search all available
channels for the local PBS station, and will select that
channel.

Exit the Auto Clock Setting
Press MENU button repeatedly until the TV/VCR re-
turns to the TV mode.
5 Turn off the TV/VCR
Press POWER button to turn off the TV/VCR for search-
ing the local PBS station. The power must remain off
during this search.
If you enter the channel number manually,
• It may take a few minutes for this search to be com-
pleted.
If you choose [A UT01,
• The TV/VCR must search through all the available
channels one by one, starting with the lowest num-
bered channel. It must scan each channel for a couple
of minutes to determine if that channel is transmitting
the XDS signal, because the PBS station will send
this signal only once every minute. This search could
take up to 2 hours if the local PBS station is on a high
numbered channel in your area or on your cable sys-
tem. You may want to start this channel search at
night when the unit is not in use.
If the time that is automatically set by this selected
PBS station is incorrect, it may not be your local PBS
station, but one from a different time zone. Or there
is a possibility that no channel in your area is broad-
casting the XDS signal, as evidenced by no time be-
ing set even after an overnight search. In these cases,
you must manually enter the correct local PBS sta-
tion, or set the clock manually and turn off the Auto
Clock Setting feature.
