There are three ways to set the clock: Manually, with Automatic
PBS Channel Selection, or with Manual PBS Channel Selection.
With manual clock setting, you tell the TV/VCR the current
time. The TV/VCR then adjusts the time accordingly. With
Automatic or Manual PBS Channel Selection, the TV/VCR gets the
current time from your local PBS station. It updates the time by
referring to your PBS station broadcasts. If you use either Manual
