The advanced hookup shows the VCR hooked up to a TV with audio and video

jacks. This connection may improve the picture quality as well as convenience

of operation.

1. How does your TV receive signals?

Choose one answer from below. A. Outside antenna - Turn to page 3.

B. Rabbit ears (set-top) and/or bow tie antenna - Turn to page 3. G. Cable System - Go to question 2.

2. What type of Cable-TV system* do you have?

Choose one answer from below. A. Cable without a box - Turn to page 3.

any part of a scheduled Timer Recording that falls between these two times will not be recorded.

In the autumn, daylight-saving time ends on the last Sunday in October. The VCR clock automatically changes from 2:00 AM to 1:00 AM (back one hour). Therefore, it can affect your recording length.

Notes: With a cable box, the VCR will not reset the clock after a

power outage unless the cable box is set to the channel carrying

the broadcast signal. If AUTO CLOCK SET is unsuccessful, try tuning the VCR (or

cable box) to a channel carrying the XDS information (usually

PBS), then turn the VCR off. If the time does not set within 10 minutes, set the time and date manually through the menu

items.
