SETTING THE CLOCK

Setting the clock accurately for proper automatic timer recording.

• The TV/VCR power must be turned on.

• Confirm that the antenna connections are correct (See page 12 - 13).

• The cable converter box must be turned on if your TV/VCR is connected directly to it. (See HINT #4)

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 (EDS).

Enter the channel number of your local PBS station us-

ing the number buttons. If you do not know the channel

number, enter "00". The TV/VCR will automatically

search all available channels for the local PBS station,

and will select that channel. See HINT#1.

Press the MENU button to return to thc normal

TV/VCR operating mode.

Press the POWER button to turn the TV/VCR off. If

you selected the local PBS channel manually as in-

structed in Step 4, you will be able to turn the TV/VCR

back on in a few minutes, and the correct time will have

been set. If you selected channel "00" to start a search

of all the available channels, it may take as long as 2

hours for this search to be completed. See the HINTS

below. The power must remain off during this search.

HINTS:

I. If you choose "00" during step 4, the TVIVCR must search through all the available channels one, starting with

the lowest numbered channel. It must scan each channel for a couple of minutes to determine if that channel is

transmitting the EDS signal, because the PBS station will send this signal only once every minute. This search

could take up to 2 hours if the local PBS station is on a high numbered channel in your area or on your cable

system. You may want to start this channel search at night when the unit is not in use, This only has to be done

one time, because once the TV/VCR has been set up to use this auto clock setting feature, it will automatically

tune to the selected PBS channel and reset the clock if necessary, every time the unit is turned off for a few

minutes. The clock setting is changed only if the clock's time has become incorrect for some reason.

2. 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. In this case, you must manually enter the correct local PBS station, or set

the clock manually and turn off the automatic clock setting feature. See page 17.

3. If no channel in your area isbroadcasting the EDS signal, as evidenced by no time being set even after an overnight

search, you must set the clock manually and turn off the automatic clock setting feature. See page 17.

4. If your TV/VCR is connected directry to a cable converter box, the lacal 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 (usually channel

3 or 4), to be able to set up or correct the clock automatically. The TV/VCR cannot control the channels of the

cable convener box.
