CLOCK SET UP
(AUTO / MANUAL)
Set the clock accurately for proper automatic timer
recording. If the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) is
available in your area, follow "AUTO CLOCK
SETTING". If it is not, follow "MANUAL CLOCK
SETTING".
AUTO CLOCK SETTING
You can have the TV/VCR set the clock automatically
by using the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) channel
in your area. Once you have set the clock by using the
following procedure, the TV/VCR will automatically
monitor the correct time and date being broadcast by the
PBS station in your area, using a new service called
Extended Data Service (XDS).
Make sure ...
Use the remote control for this procedure.
TV/VCR power must be turned on.
Confirm that the antenna connections are correct.
The cable converter box must be turned on if your
TV/VCR is connected directly to it. (See NOTES:)
NOTES:
Auto clock setting only needs to be set once. But it
can be done again if the clock's time has become
incorrect for some reason.
If the TV/VCR is connected directly to a cable
converter box or satellite box, the local PBS station
must be selected on the cable box itself, and the
TV/VCR must be set to the output channel of the
cable converter box or satellite box
(usually channel 3 or 4), to be able to set up or correct
the clock automatically.
If you do not know what your local PBS station is,
then follow "Manual Clock Settings" on page 15.
The TV/VCR cannot control the channels of the
cable converter box or satellite box.

it may take a few minutes for this search to be com-
pleted.
the TV/VCR must search until the PBS channel is
found. It must scan each channel for a couple of sec-
onds to determine if that channel is transmitting the
XDS signal. This search could take up to 10
minutes if the local PBS station is on a high numbered
channel in your area or on your cable system.
if the time, that is automatically set by this selected
PBS station is incorrect, it may not be your local PBS
station, but one from a different time zone. Or there
is a case that no channel is broadcasting the XDS
signal in your area, as shown by no time being set
even after a 10 minutes search. In these cases, you
must manually enter the correct local PBS station, or
set the clock manually and turn off the Auto Clock
Setting feature.
