Setting the clock
Step 5 : Setting the clock
Using the Auto Clock Set 
feature
Some TV and cable channels transmit time 
signals with their broadcasts.  Your DVD-
VCR can pick up this time signal to 
automatically set the clock.
The Auto Clock Set feature works only if a 
channel in your area is broadcasting a time 
signal.  If broadcasters in your area are not 
yet sending time signals, set the time 
manually (page 22).
Before you start…
• Turn on the DVD-VCR and your TV.  
When using a cable box, turn it on.
• To control the DVD-VCR, set TV / 
DVD·VIDEO to DVD·VIDEO on the 
remote (page 9).
• Set the “RF Output Channel” to “3CH” or 
“4CH” in “OPTION SETUP” menu 
(page 100).  If your TV is connected to the 
DVD-VCR using A/V connections, set the 
TV to video input.
• If the DVD player is in play mode, you 
cannot display the “SETUP MENU.”  Stop 
the DVD playback.

B/b
 
to select a channel that carries a time signal.  
Use this option if you know of a channel that 
carries a time signal.  Most PBS member

fastest response, select your local PBS 
station.

“Auto” to have the DVD-VCR automatically 
set your time zone.

Setting the clock
Notes
• The  clock cannot be set automatically if you do not receive a channel that carries a time 
signal in your area.  If so, set the clock manually (page 22).
• If there are only a few channels in your area that carry time signals, setting the clock 
automatically may take up to about 20 minutes.  If nothing happens even after you wait about 
20 minutes, set the clock manually (page 22).
• If you made Hookup 3, make sure you leave the cable box on.
• To record TV programs using the timer, you must set the clock accurately.
• The  clock display appears when VIDEO mode is selected with no tape inserted or when the 
DVD-VCR is turned off.
