Setting The Clock - Sony DHR-1000 Operating Instructions Manual

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.
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.
