Note: Using this setup method does not store
any channel in the VCR’s memory. Instead,
you select channels using the cable box. See
“Using the VCR’s Remote Control with Your TV
and Cable Box or Satellite Receiver” on
Page 22 for how to use the VCR’s remote con-
trol to change the channels on the cable box.
Alternate Setup
Follow the steps in this section if:
• You selected VCR CABLE/DSS TV or
VCR TV in Step 4 on Page 14
• You selected NO REMOTE in Step 6 on
Page 15
• You use a direct-to-home satellite receiver
and selected YES in Step 8 on Page 17
If the VCR did not control your cable box or di-
rect-to-home satellite receiver in Step 8 on
Page 17, follow Steps 1–4 in “Reprogramming
Tuner Memory” on Page 20 first, then follow
the steps in this section.
1. Be sure your TV shows this screen. If not,
follow Steps 1–4 in “Setting the On-Screen
Language/Connection Type/Remote Code/
Clock” on Page 14.
2. Set your cable box to the local PBS station,
then press CH s . Or if you do not have a
cable box or direct-to-home satellite
receiver, simply press
CH s .
After you press CH s , CH AUTO SET PRO-
CEEDING and the current channel number
appear on the TV screen as the VCR scans
through the channels and memorizes all
active channels in your area.
Note: If you have already set the channels
and just want to manually set the clock,
press
MENU/ACTION to skip tuner program-
ming. Then see “Manually Setting the
Clock” on Page 19.
3. When the VCR finishes scanning and stor-
ing channels, it searches for an EDS signal
and shows:
It can take up to 10 minutes for the VCR to
set the clock using the EDS signal. If the
VCR finds a signal, it automatically sets its
clock to the correct time and date, then the
time and date, current channel setting, and
AUTO CLOCK SET COMPLETED appear.
Afterwards, the VCR resets the clock by
the received EDS signal the first time you
turn it off during a day. If the VCR does not
detect a signal within this time,
AUTO
CLOCK SET INCOMPLETE appears.
There is probably not an EDS signal avail-
able in your area. Press
MENU/ACTION ,
then see “Manually Setting the Clock” on
Page 19 to set the clock.
Notes:
• Your VCR protects tuner programming for
up to 24 hours in case a power failure
occurs or if the power cord becomes
unplugged. After about 24 hours without
power, the VCR loses the programming.
• If you have not connected the VCR to an
antenna, cable box, direct-to-home sat-
ellite receiver, or other signal source
through the
IN FROM ANT. jack, the VCR
does not store any channel in memory.
