Once you have set the clock by using the following procedure, the TV/VCR will automatically monitor the correct time and date being broadcast by the PBS station in your area, using a new service called Extended Data Service (XDS). Make sure ... • TV/VCR power must be turned on. • Confirm that the antenna connections are correct. • The cable converter box must be turned on if your TV/VCR is connected directly to it. (See NOTES:) • The channel is properly set in advance. NOTES: • Auto clock setting only needs to be set once. But it can be done again if the clock's time has become incorrect for some reason. • If the TV/VCR is connected directly to a cable converter box or satellite box, the local PBS station must be selected on the cable box itself, and the TV/VCR must be set to the output channel of the cable converter box or satellite box (usually channel 3 or 4), to be able to set up or correct the clock automatically. If you do not know what your local PBS station is, then follow "Manual Clock Settings".
