If the correct current time is displayed on the display window, the Auto Channel Set and Clock Set have been completed successfully. Go to step 3.

If “1” (channel position) is displayed on the display window, the Auto Clock Set has not completed (only the Auto Channel Set has). Go to step 3 and then perform “Clock Setting” manually. (✈P.20)

• You can check if the Guide Channel numbers have been set correctly when you perform S

HOWVIEW Timer Recording

(or CH 5/∞ on the remote control) to make sure that all necessary stations have been stored in the VCR’s memory.

• If station names (ID) (✈P.19) have also been stored in the VCR’s memory, the station name will be displayed at the top left corner of the screen for about 5 seconds when the VCR is tuned to a different station.

• If you want to set the tuner manually such as to add or skip channels, to change channel positions, or to set station names, see pages 16-18.

• If no station is stored in the VCR’s memory, make sure the TV antenna cable is connected correctly and turn off the VCR power once, then turn it back on again. Reperform from Preparation on page 9.

Notes:

• Auto channel set function takes place first; it automatically assigns all receivable stations in your area.

• Auto clock set function sets the clock automatically by reading the clock setting data from a station transmitting a PDC signal while auto channel set is being performed.

• During auto channel set, the VCR recognizes each station name of the detected stations and stores them in the VCR’s memory, then automatically sets S

HOWVIEW system’s

assigned Guide Channel number for those stations according to the broadcast area.

• In the area where no station TV transmits a PDC signal, the VCR can perform neither auto clock set nor auto Guide Channel number set.

• If there is a power cut, or if you press

STANDBY/ON, POWER

or

MENU

while Auto Set Up is in progress, Auto Set Up will be interrupted; be sure to turn off the VCR power once and try again from step 1.

• Auto clock may not function properly depending on the reception condition.

IMPORTANT

• In certain reception conditions, station names may not be stored correctly, and auto Guide Channel Number Set may not work properly. If the Guide Channel numbers are not set properly, when you timer-record a TV programme using S will record a TV programme of a different station. When programming the timer using

HOWVIEW system, be sure to check whether

S the channel position on which your VCR receives the broadcasting station you wish to record is selected. (✈P.27).

• Your VCR memorizes all detected stations even if reception of some of them is poor. In these cases picture quality may be poor. To delete those stations with an unacceptable picture, see page 17.
