Chapter 3: On-Screen Menus 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 VCR MAIN MENU Timer Recordings Time Channels Setup Preferences Audio Language Exit Explanation of the Menu System The on-screen menus you saw the first time you turned on your VCR were explained in Chapter 1. This chapter lists other menus that you can access through the VCR MAIN MENU (press MENU on the remote control). The quickest way to select a menu is to press the number button on the remote control that matches the number next to the item. Some menus have on-screen instructions for more complicated settings. If you ever need to change some of the settings in any of the menus that appear in the setup procedure, choose Setup (press 5 on the remote) from the VCR MAIN MENU. Note that the VR546 does not have the Audio menu, as it is a mono model. Timer Recordings The Timer Recordings feature programs the VCR to record automatically. This feature is explained in detail on page 14. 1 2 3 4 TIME Set Time and Date Auto Clock Set: ON Set Time Zone Set Daylight Saving Time Set Time and Date Set Time and Date allows you to manually set the VCR's time and date information instead of using the Auto Clock Set feature. When the SET TIME AND DATE menu is on the screen, use the number buttons on the remote to enter the information - you must press 0 before single digits (for example, 03/17/02 for March 17th, 2002). Auto Clock Set Using Auto Clock Set enables the time to be updated each time the VCR is turned off. Time Data was found on channel 20. 0 Exit Displaying Time and Date Pressing the INFO button on the remote control displays the time and date on screen temporarily. Press the 2 button repeatedly to go back and forth between on and off. If you turn Auto Clock off, you'll need to manually set the time and date in order for the VCR's recording features to work. Notes: Auto Clock Set is available only in limited areas. You must set available channels, time zone, and Daylight-Savings settings for Auto Clock Set to work. When using Auto Clock Set with a cable box, the VCR will not reset the clock after a power outage unless the cable box is tuned to the channel carrying time data. If the time doesn't automatically set after trying for ten minutes, manually set the time and date information. SET TIME ZONE What is your Time Zone? 1 Eastern 2 Central 3 Mountain 4 Pacific 5 Alaska 6 Hawaii 7 Automatic Press MENU to continue Set Time Zone Set Time Zone sets the time zone you are in. When the SET TIME ZONE menu is on the screen, use the number buttons on the remote to enter the information - you must press 0 before single digits. If you select Automatic for your time zone, the VCR sets the clock using the first time information it finds. If the time set is not correct, select another time zone or set the time and date through the menu system. Set Daylight-Savings Adjust this setting to allow for daylight savings time (DST). If you choose Automatic for the time zone, the VCR sets the clock using any DST information broadcast in the channel's signal. Chapter 3 17
