If you select YES, DST IS OBSERVED:
In the Spring, daylight-saving time begins on the first Sunday
in April. Because the clock automatically changes from 2:00
AM to 3:00 AM (forward one hour), remember that any part of
a scheduled Timer Recording that falls between these two
times will not be recorded.
In the autumn, daylight-saving time ends on the last Sunday in
October. The VCR clock automatically changes from 2:00 AM
to 1:00 AM (back one hour). Therefore, it can affect your
recording length.
If you select AUTOMATIC, the VCR sets the clock using the first
Coordinated Universal Time information it finds.
Notes: With a cable box, the VCR will not reset the clock after a
power outage unless the cable box is set to the channel carrying
the broadcast signal.
If AUTO CLOCK SET is unsuccessful, try tuning the VCR to a
channel carrying the XDS information (usually PBS), then turn the
VCR off. If the time does not set within 10 minutes, set the time
and date through the menu items.
Check local cable system or TV stations for availability of channels
with Extended Data Service (XDS).
