•When set to "AUTO CLOCK", the current time is acquired
automatically when the main power is turned OFF. (This function
will not work when EOS CH is not set.)
•Backup
The clock function is maintained for about 5minutes even
when the AC adapter has been shut off due to apower
outage or when moving the LCD TV set. (Since about 30
minutes are required to charge the backup power supply, it
may not be possible to maintain the clock function if the
charging time is excessively short.)
If the clock setting has been reset, repeat the procedures on
this page.
There are two methods of setting the clock: AUTO CLOCK
and MANUAL CLOCK. AUTO CLOCK uses EOS signals,
which are provided by some TV stations, to automatically
adjust the clock. MANUAL CLOCK sets the clock manually in
areas where no channel carries EOS signals.
