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 page
36.
