Automatic clock setting
If you connect an antenna or cable to the VCR, the Auto
Clock Set feature will function. It automatically sets
the clock and adjusts for Daylight Saving Time the first
time you turn off the VCR.
The VCR sets the clock by picking up a time signal
provided by some TV channels.
If you want to use the timer to record right away, or if
the channels in your area do not carry time signals, set
the clock manually. For details, see pages 27–29.
Note
• To use the automatic clock setting feature, leave the DSS
receiver on.
• 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.
You are now ready to use your VCR
Procedures differ slightly depending on the hookup
used. Make a note of which hookup you used
(Hookup 5) so that you can always follow the correct
instructions.
Notes
• To successfully record a program from the DSS receiver,
proceed as follows:
– Leave the DSS receiver on all the time.
– Turn off the display (menu screen, channel number, etc.) of
the DSS receiver.
– To record or receive locked channels, unlock the channel
before the VCR starts recording.
• To set pay-per-view programs in the timer setting, order the
pay-per-view program before the VCR starts recording.
• Some programs are copy protected. You cannot record these
programs.
