Sony VCRplus+ SLV-775HF Operating Instructions Manual page 24

Automatic clock setting
Once you've set up the VCR, it automatically sets the clock the first time you
turn off the VCR. After that, whenever you turn off the VCR, it checks the
time and adjusts the clock, even for Daylight Saving Time. 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
36 to 37.
Note
* 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.
