The VCR's clock and tuner channels are set automatically when the VCR is plugged into the AC
outlet.
If you use a cable box, Plug & Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels manually.

Plug the VCR into the
AC outlet.

Don’t press any buttons on the VCR or remote
during auto setup.

“AUTO” blinks while the VCR automatically
sets the clock using information provided by
the local PBS channel.

NOTES:

● If the time displayed in is incorrect, perform the Semi-Auto or Manual Clock Set procedure

(refer to page 12 or 13 of the HR-S4600U/S3600U’s instruction manual). Auto channel set has
already taken place, and is not affected.

● There are some PBS channels that do not transmit clock setting data. If your antenna cable is

properly connected and “– – : – –” is displayed, perform the Manual Clock Set procedure (refer
to page 13 of the HR-S4600U/S3600U’s instruction manual). Auto channel setting has not yet
taken place, so please also perform the “Set Receivable Channels” procedure (refer to page 14
of the HR-S4600U/S3600U’s instruction manual).

current time. You can now use your VCR.
