INITIAL SET UP

Setting the On-Screen Language/

Channels/Clock

When you first plug in the VCR and turn it on,

when you turn it on after power was interrupted

for longer than 24 hours, or when you reset the

VCR’s memory, the VCR prompts you to select

a language, then scans for active channels in

your area and stores them.

In many areas, the Public Broadcasting Ser-

vice (PBS) station broadcasts an electronic

data signal (EDS) with its regular broadcast.

This signal can automatically set your VCR’s

clock to the correct time. If a station in your

area has EDS signals, the VCR automatically

sets the clock.

Note:

The VCR is preset to automatically set

the clock, but you can change this. If no sta-

tions in your area broadcast EDS signals, see

“Manually Setting the Clock” on Page 15.

1. Press

POWER

to turn on the VCR.

2. Turn on your TV and set it to the same

channel as the VCR’s

3-CH-4

switch, or

select its line input if you connected the

VCR to the TV’s audio/video input jacks.

Then press

TV/VCR

so VCR appears.

3. Select a language by pressing

CH

(to

select English),

CH

4. At this screen, set your cable box to the

local PBS station, then press

CH

s

. (If you

do not have a cable box, simply press

CH

s

).

Notes:

• You can also set your direct-to-home

satellite receiver to a PBS station in this

step. However, since satellite broadcast

services broadcast nationwide and usu-

ally do not offer local PBS programming,

the VCR will not be able to receive an

EDS signal with the correct local time.

• If you have already set the channels and

just want to manually set the clock,

press

MENU/ACTION

to skip tuner pro-

gramming. Then see “Manually Setting

the Clock” on Page 15.

After you press

and the current channel number

appear on the TV screen as the VCR scans

through the channels and memorizes all the

active channels in your area.

5. When the VCR finishes scanning and stor-

ing channels, it searches for an EDS signal

and shows:

It can take up to 10 minutes for the VCR to

set the clock using the EDS signal. If the

VCR finds a signal, it automatically sets its

clock to the correct time and date, then the
