SETTING THE CLOCK

You must set the clock accurately for proper
automatic timer recording. In many areas, Pub-
lic Broadcasting Service (PBS) stations broad-
cast an Extend Data Service (EDS) signal with
their regular broadcast. This signal can auto-
matically set your Model 36's clock to the cor-
rect time. If a PBS station is available in your
area, follow the steps under "Auto Clock Set-
ting." If not, follow the steps under "Manual
Clock Setting" on Page 18.

Auto Clock Setting

Confirm that the antenna connections are cor-
rect before using auto clock setting.
Note: Since DC power is often interrupted, you
cannot use auto clock setting when you power
the Model 36 using DC power. And, if your TV/
VCR is connected directly to a cable converter
box, the box must be turned on and tuned to the
local PBS station.

If the time set by the selected PBS station is in-
correct, the station might be in a different time
zone. If the Model 36 does not display the time
within about 10 minutes, there might be no sta-
tion broadcasting an EDS signal in your area.
Set the clock manually and turn off the auto
clock setting feature.
