This unit sets the clock and tuner channels automatically 
when AC power cord is first connected to an AC outlet. 
The antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play 
setting. 
The time and date can be set automatically by the clock 
setting data transmitted from one of the regular TV 
broadcast channels. We call this TV channel the “host 
channel” and it is a PBS channel in your area.

A

Connect the antenna cable to the unit. (

pg. 14) Then 

connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet. Do not turn 
on the unit.
The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically.

● Auto Clock Set is performed first.

“AUTO” blinks on the front display panel during Auto Clock 
Set.

● Auto Channel Set is performed next. Auto Channel Set scans 

all the channels that are receivable by your unit. During Auto 
Channel Set, the channel numbers are displayed as they are 
scanned and set.

● When Plug & Play setting has been complete successfully, the 

correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play 
setting successfully, there is no need to perform “Clock Set” 
(

pg. 24) and “Tuner Set” (

pg. 26). If, however, you want 

to add or delete channels, refer to “Manual Channel Set” 
(

* If an incorrect clock time or “– –:– –” appears on the front display panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed” below.

● If you use a cable box, Plug&Play will not function; set the 

clock and tuner channels separately. (

pg. 24 – 27)

● Depending on areas or reception conditions, the unit may 

not receive the Auto clock setting data from the PBS 
channel. If this function is taking a considerable amount of 
time, it may be necessary to perform the Semiauto or 
Manual Clock Set procedure.

● If “AUTO CLOCK” is set to “ON” (

pg. 25), the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host channel every hour (except 

11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) using the incoming PBS channel clock setting data. (This automatic clock 
adjustment can only be performed when the unit is turned off. The clock will be adjusted just on these hours — on the time 
displayed on the front display panel, not on the actual real time.) The default setting of “AUTO CLOCK” is “ON”. (

● If the memory backup fails, because a power outage occurs or because the AC power cord is unplugged, Plug & Play will be 

performed when power is restored to the unit.

● If an incorrect time is displayed on the front display panel, you may be receiving the clock setting data of a PBS channel from an 

adjacent time zone, or an incorrect PBS channel from a cable TV system. In this case, perform “Semiauto Clock Set” (

● If “– –:– –” appears on the front display panel, your antenna cable may not be connected to the unit or there may not be a Host 

PBS signal available in your area. Ensure that the antenna cable is connected correctly. Then turn on and off the unit; the Plug & 
Play setting will be automatically reactivated. If Plug & Play setting is not performed though the antenna cable is connected 
correctly, perform “Manual Clock Set” (

pg. 25) and “Auto Channel Set” (

pg. 26) or “Manual Channel Set” (

During Initial Auto Clock Set
“AUTO” blinks.

During Auto Channel Set
The channel numbers are displayed as they are 
scanned and set.

The current time is displayed.
