Auto Clock Information
With a cable box, the VCR will not
reset the clock after a power outage
unless the cable box is set to the
channel carrying the automatic time
information.
If Auto Clock Set is unsuccessful, try
tuning the VCR (or cable box) to
a channel carrying the broadcast
information (usually PBS), then turn
the VCR off. If the time does not set
within 10 minutes, set the time and
date manually through the menus.
