You can have the TV/VCR set the clock automatically by using the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) channel in
your area. Once you have set the clock by using the following procedure, the TV/VCR will automatically monitor
the correct time and date being broadcast by the PBS station in your area, using a new service called Extended
Data Service (EDS).

Enter the channel number of your local PBS station us-
ing the number buttons. If you do not know the channel
number, enter "00". The TVNCR will automatically
search all available channels for the local PBS station,
and will select that channel. See HINT #1.
Press the MENU button to return to the normal
TV/VCR operating mode.
or1
Press the POWER button to turn the TVNCR off. If
you selected the local PBS channel manually as in-
structed in Step 4, you will be able to turn the TV/VCR
back on in a few minutes, and the correct time will have
been set. If you selected channel "00" to start a search
of all the available channels, it may take as long as 2
hours for this search to be completed. See the HINTS
below. The power must remain off during this search.
HINTS:
1. If you choose "00" during step 4, the TV/VCR must search through all the available channels one, starting with
the lowest numbered channel. It must scan each channel for a couple of minutes to determine if that channel is
transmitting the EDS signal, because the PBS station will send this signal only once every minute. This search
could take up to 2 hours if the local PBS station is on a high numbered channel in your area or on your cable
system. You may want to start this channel search at night when the unit is not in use, This only has to be done
one time, because once the TV/VCR has been set up to use this auto clock setting feature, it will automatically
tune to the selected PBS channel and reset the clock if necessary, every time the unit is turned off for a few
minutes. The clock setting is changed only if the clock's time has become incorrect for some reason.
2. If the time that is automatically set by this selected PBS station is incorrect, it may not be your local PBS station,
but one from a different time zone. In this case, you must manually enter the correct local PBS station, or set
the clock manually and turn off the automatic clock setting feature. See page 17.
3. If no channel in your area is broadcasting the EDS signal, as evidenced by no time being set even after an overnight
search, you must set the clock manually andturn offthe automatic clock setting feature. See page 17.
4. If your TV/VCR is connected directry to a cable converter box, the lacal PBS station must be selected on the
cable box itself, and the TV/VCR must be set to the output channel of the cable converter box (usually channel
3 or 4), to be able to set up or correct the clock automatically. The TV/VCR cannot control the channels of the
cable converter box.

NOTE:
Not all programs are broadcast with closed captions.
Your television is designed to provide error free closed
captions from high quality antenna, cable and VCR sig-
nals. Conversely, poor quality signals are likely to result
in caption errors or no captions at all. Common signal
conditions which may cause captions errors are listed
below;
a) Automobile ignition noise.
Electric motor brush noise.b)
c)
d)Weak snowy picture. Multiplex signal reception displaying picture ghosts
or airplane flutter.
e) Playback of poorly recorded or worn VCR tapes.
f) If your TVNCR displays a
black box on the screen,
this means that your
TV/VCR is set to TEXT
mode. To clear screen, se-
lect CAPTION CI, C2 or CLOSED CAPTION
[OFF].
When the Closed Caption mode is ON:
The On Screen Display will disappear after 5 seconds.
• This is true even if MUTE button is pressed, or
PAUSE/STILL button is pressed while recording.
However, On Screen Display will appear for 5 sec-
onds when SELECT button is pressed.

NOISE CANCELLING
If you use the PAUSE/STILL button to freeze the pic-
ture during playback with tapes recorded in the SLP

TVNCR screen.
This is normal, however, this TV/VCR has a special
featurethat allows you to reposition orreduce the lines.
Each time you press PAUSE/STILL button the lines
will change position on the TV/VCR screen. This en-
ables you to see the picture in its entirety without dis-
tracting noise lines.
If the tape was originally recorded in the SP orLP mode,
the still picture may, in addition to the "noise bars",
revert to black and white. This is normal.
