SETTING THE CLOCK

Use the remote control to set the clock.

Set the clock accurately for proper automatic timer and quick timer
recording.  We suggest you refer to a TV or radio station to obtain the
correct time.

In the following example, the clock is set to 9:30 p.m. July 4, 1992.

1.  Press POWER to turn on the VCR.

2.  Turn on your TV and set it to the same channel as the VCR's CHANNEL 3/4
    switch (located on the back of the VCR).  Then, press TV/VCR on the
    remote control so that VCR appears on the VCR's display.  The TV screen
    shows a blue display.

     NOTE:  If you use a TV monitor, be sure to set it to the video mode.

3.  Press PROGRAM on the remote control.

     a. If you are setting the clock after plugging in the VCR, the
        clock-setting mode automatically appears on the TV screen with the
        first hour digit flashing.

     b. If you are not setting the clock for the first time after plugging
        in the VCR, the MENU display appears on the TV screen.  Press 1 to
        enter the clock-setting mode.  The first hour digit flashes.

4.  To change the on-screen instructions to Spanish, press 0.

     NOTE:  Whenever the menu display is on the screen, you can press 0 to
            toggle between English and Spanish instructions.

5.  Press the remote control's number buttons to set the correct hour and
    minute.  (Press 0, 9, 3, and 0 to set 9:30, for example.)

    Precede a single-digit entry with 0.  If you press a wrong number
    button, press CLEAR and then press the correct button.

6.  Press 1 to select a.m. or press 2 to select p.m.  Your VCR uses an
    a.m./p.m. clock.

7.  Press the number buttons to set the correct date.  (Press 0, 7, 0, 4,
    9, and 2 to set July 4, 1992, for example.)

8.  Review the entered information.

     - If it is correct, press PROGRAM.  The clock-setting mode display
       changes to the MENU display and the VCR display changes to the 
       correct clock display.

     - If the information is not correct, press CLEAR as necessary to erase
       the wrong information.  Then, enter the correct information.  Press
       PROGRAM to store the information.

9.  Press PROGRAM again to clear the MENU display.

NOTES:

     - If you enter an invalid date or time (13:00, for example), ?
       flashes.  Enter the correct date or time.

     - Seconds begin counting at 00 when you press PROGRAM after you set
       the date.

     - If the display shows an abnormal reading or no reading, press ALL
       CLEAR on the VCR.  Then, repeat Steps 1 - 9 to reset the clock.


MEMORY SENTINEL

Your VCR has a special memory sentinel feature that protects clock
settings, tuner programming information, and timer memory settings by
providing up to 1 hour of backup power in case a power failure occurs or if
the power cord accidentally becomes unplugged.  After about 1 hour of no
power, the VCR loses all timer memory settings.
