INITIAL SET UP

Setting the On-Screen Language/
Connection Type/Channels/Clock
When you first plug in the VCR and turn it on,
when you turn it on after power was interrupted
for longer than 24 hours, or when you reset the
VCR's memory, the VCR prompts you to select
a language, then scans for active channels in
your area and stores them.
In many areas, the Public Broadcasting Ser-
vice (PBS) station broadcasts an electronic
data signal (EDS) with its regular broadcast.
This signal can automatically set your VCR's
clock to the correct time. If a station in your
area has EDS signals, the VCR automatically
sets the clock.
Notes:
• The VCR is preset to automatically set the
clock, but you can change this setting. See
"Manually Setting the Clock" on Page 16.
• If no stations in your area broadcast EDS
signals, you can set the clock manually.
See "Manually Setting the Clock" on
Page 16 for more information.
