receiving a channel that carries a time signal in your area.
In this case, set the clock manually.

correct the current time by receiving PDC broadcasts
whenever you turn off the VCR.
• The VCR will correct the current time automatically at 8:00, if
the VCR's power is turned off.
• Between 23:00~1:00, the AUTO CLOCK function does not
work even if the VCR's power is turned off.
