Notes
• The clock cannot be set automatically if you don't receive a channel that carries a time signal
ill your area. If so, set the clock manually (see page 21).
• If there are only a few, channels in your area that carry time signals, setting the clock
automatically may take up to about 20 minutes. If nothing happens even al_er you wait about
20 minutes, set the clock manually.
• If you use HotJkup 3, make sure ytJu leave the cable box on.
