Clock Set Up; Auto Clock Setting - Hitachi VT-MX6500A Owner's Manual

CLOCK SET UP

Set the clock accurately for proper automatic timer recording.
• If the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) is available in your area, the VCR set the clock automatically by
using it at "CHANNEL SET UP" on page 14. (Auto Clock Setting feature)
Once the clock is set by this feature, the VCR will get automatically the current time from your local PBS
channel, using a new service called Extended Data Service (EDS) whenever turning the VCR off, at
12:00AM and 12:00PM. If the clock's time is incorrect for some reason or you want to reset the clock
immediately, following "AUTO CLOCK SETTING".
• If you want to set the clock manually, follow "MANUAL CLOCK SETTING" on page 17.
• If you want to use DAYLIGHT-SAVINGS TIME feature, follow "DAYLIGHT-SAVINGS TIME" on
page 18.

AUTO CLOCK SETTING

• Confirm that the antenna connections are correct and the CHANNEL PRESET completes first.
• Use the remote control for this procedure.
• Be sure to check that the "PWR." and the "VCR" indicators are both on.
• Turn on the TV and set the TV to channel 3 or 4. Now set the CH3/CH4 switch on the back of the VCR to
match the channel selected on the TV.
• If the VCR is connected directly to a cable converter box, the cable converter box must turn on and select
the local PBS channel itself. Then, the VCR must be set to the output channel of the cable converter box
(usually channel 3 or 4), to be able to set up and automatically correct the clock.
