IMPORTANT!
The guidance given on the next three pages in the most common forms of
connection. However please check with your manufacturers instruction books for
specific information. Make sure all connections are made with both your VCR and
additional appliance unplugged from the mains to avoid damaging your equipment.
Connecting a VCR using a SCART leads is one of the best ways to achieve optimum
sound and picture quality from video-tape playback. If you own a stereo TV you will
be able to enjoy stereo sound when playing a stereo video tape; you will be unable to
enjoy this facility if you connected just a normal aerial lead.

Time and date setting
17
Setting the video recorder’s clock
The clock in this video recorder gives the date (including
the day of the week) and the time. It is set automatically
during Automatic Channel Tuning (LV4787/LV4767/
LV4747). It is also continually checked against the date
and time if this information is being broadcast as it is by all
channels broadcasting a Teletext signal (LV4787/LV4767/
LV4747). It is, therefore, unlikely that you will need to alter
the clock settings.
Whenever the video recorder receives a signal containing
the date and time it adjusts itself to these signals
(LV4787/LV4767/LV4747).
Therefore, the video recorder clock is likely to be always
showing the correct time (LV4787/LV4767/LV4747).
To manually alter the clock:
1 Press the “i” button. The Main menu appears on the
TV screen.
2 Select “TIME DATE” with the cursor “F” and “G”
buttons.
3 Press the “OK” button.
The auto adjust mode can be set to “OFF” by pressing
“D” and “E” buttons if you want to set the time
manually (LV4787/LV4767/LV4747).
4 Press the “OK” button.
5 Use the number buttons or cursor “D”, “E”, “F” and
“G” buttons alter the Hours, Minutes, Day, Month and
Year (using the 24 hour clock).
The day of the week will appear automatically when
you have entered the date.
NOTE: Enter 1 as 01, 2 as 02 etc.
•Correct errors during inputting with cursor “F” and
“G” buttons.
6Press the “i” button to remove the menus from the TV
screen. The set time will appear on the video
recorder’s Display.
