• Entries that do not match the
TV/VCR’s calendar will cause a
question mark (?) to appear on the
screen.

Helpful Hints

2-3

There are three ways to set the clock: Manually, with Automatic
PBS Channel Selection, or with Manual PBS Channel Selection.
With manual clock setting, you tell the TV/VCR the current time.
With Automatic or Manual PBS Channel Selection, the TV/VCR
gets the time from your local PBS station. If you use either Manual
PBS Channel Selection or Automatic PBS Channel Selection, fol­low the steps on page 19 to have the TV/VCR maintain the clock
according to your Time Zone.
To set the clock manually, follow the steps on pages 12 -13. To
set the clock using Automatic PBS Channel Selection, follow the
steps on pages 14 - 15. To set the clock using Manual PBS
Channel Selection, follow the steps on pages 16 - 17.
Before you begin, make sure:

● The TV/VCR is hooked up and turned on.

● Channels are set up.

● You make each entry within 60 seconds of the previous entry.
