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
that's 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 cable box
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.
Enter the program guide
