SETTING THE CLOCK
You must set the clock accurately for proper
automatic timer recording. In many areas, Pub-
lic Broadcasting Service (PBS) stations broad-
cast an Extend Data Service (EDS) signal with
their regular broadcast. This signal can auto-
matically set your Model 36’s clock to the cor-
rect time. If a PBS station is available in your
area, follow the steps under “Auto Clock Set-
ting.” If not, follow the steps under “Manual
Clock Setting” on Page 18.
Auto Clock Setting
Confirm that the antenna connections are cor-
rect before using auto clock setting.
Note: Since DC power is often interrupted, you
cannot use auto clock setting when you power
the Model 36 using DC power. And, if your TV/
VCR is connected directly to a cable converter
box, the box must be turned on and tuned to the
local PBS station.
1. Press MENU to select the main menu.
2. Repeatedly press PLAY/ s or STOP/ t to
select SETTING CLOCK , then press
F.FWD/ .
3. Repeatedly press F.FWD/ or REW/
until ON appears next to AUTO CLOCK .
4. Repeatedly press PLAY/ s or STOP/ t to
select AUTO CLOCK CH . If you know the
channel number of the local PBS station,
repeatedly press
F.FWD/ or REW/ until
the channel number for that station ap-
pears.
If you do not know the PBS channel num-
ber, repeatedly press F.FWD/ or REW/
until AUTO appears. This sets the Model 36
to automatically search all available chan-
nels for an EDS signal.
5. Press MENU to exit.
6. Press POWER to turn off the Model 36 so it
can search for an EDS signal. The power
must remain off during this search. If you
entered the channel number manually, it
may take a few minutes for this search to
be completed. If you chose
AUTO , the
Model 36 searches through all the available
channels starting with the lowest numbered
channel. This search could take up to 10
minutes if the local PBS station is on a
high-numbered channel in your area.
If the Model 36 finds an EDS signal, the
time appears on the TV screen.
If the time set by the selected PBS station is in-
correct, the station might be in a different time
zone. If the Model 36 does not display the time
within about 10 minutes, there might be no sta-
tion broadcasting an EDS signal in your area.
Set the clock manually and turn off the auto
clock setting feature.
