14 Setting the Clock
2
Press the MENU button to bring up the main menu display.
There are two ways to set the clock. With manual clock setting,
you tell the VCR the current time. With automatic clock setting,
the VCR gets the current time from your local PBS station. It
keeps track of the time by constantly referring to the time broad-
casted by your PBS station.
If you are using a Cable Box or Digital Satellite System,
you must set the clock manually.
Follow the instructions under either manual clock setting or auto-
matic clock setting (page 16) to set the VCR’s clock. Before you
begin, make sure:
● The VCR is hooked up and turned on, and channels are pro-
grammed into the VCR’s memory (see pages six - 12).
● The VCR is in VCR position. (The VCR light will appear on the
display panel. If it does not, press the VCR/TV button once.)
● You make each entry within 60 seconds of the previous entry.
(If you do not, you may start again at step 1.)

• To display the time, press the STA-
TUS/EXIT button. A status display,
which includes the time, will appear
on the TV screen for about five sec-
onds. For details, see “On-Screen
Status Displays” on page 26.
• If you press the STATUS/EXIT but-
ton while you are setting the clock,
the TV screen will return to the pro-
gram you were watching. If this
happens, start over.
• Power failures that last for more
than one hour can cause you to lose
your clock setting if you set the
clock manually. If this happens,
reset the clock.
