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 24).
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 10).
•Set the “RF Output Channel” to “3CH” or
“4CH” in “OPTION SETUP” menu
(page 110). 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.

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 24).
• 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 24).
• 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.
