AUTO CLOCK SETTING
You can have the TV/VCR set the clock automatically

PBS station in your area, using a new service called
Extended Data Service (XDS).

• 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:)
• The channel you want to record is properly set in
advance. (See page 13)
NOTES:
• Auto clock setting only needs to be set once. You but
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, 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
(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 converter box.
