NOTES: Auto clock setting only needs to be set once. But it can be done again if the clocks 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. The TV/VCR cannot control the channels of the cable converter box or satellite box.
If you choose [AUTO], The TV/VCR must search until the PBS channel is found. It must scan each channel for a couple of seconds to determine if that channel is transmitting the XDS signal. If the time, that is automatically set by this selected PBS station is incorrect, it may not be your local PBS station, but one from a different time zone. Or there is a case that no channel is broadcasting the XDS signal in your area, as shown by no time. In these cases, you must manually enter the correct local PBS station, or set the clock manually and turn off the Auto Clock Setting feature.
