¥ If you select
YES, DST IS OBSERVED
:
In the Spring,
daylight-saving time begins on the first
Sunday in April. Because the clock automatically changes
from 2:00 AM to 3:00 AM (forward one hour), remember
that 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.
¥ If you select
AUTOMATIC
, the VCR sets the clock using the
first Coordinated Universal Time information it finds.
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.
Check local cable system or TV stations for availability of channels
with Extended Data Service (XDS).
