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.
(If you do not, you may start again at step 1.)
