Setting Up the VCR

Spring forward; Fall back

In the Spring, Daylight-Savings
begins on the first Sunday in April.
Because the clock automatically
changes from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m.
(forward one hour), remember to
include the extra hour for timer
recordings falling within this time
frame.

In the Autumn, Daylight-Savings
ends on the last Sunday in October.
The VCR clock automatically changes
from 2 a.m. to 1 a.m. (back one hour).
Therefore, it can affect your
recording length.
