Time and Date
Your VCR can set the time and date in two ways; manually or by using the Auto Clock Set
(ACS) feature. ACS uses time and date information carried in certain broadcaster’s signals,
so it is only available in limited areas. If the ACS feature doesn’t work for any reason,
set the time and date information manually. This will automatically turn off the ACS feature.

ACS is set to ON by default at the factory. In the ON setting, the VCR looks for a channel
carrying time and date information and updates the clock automatically. In order for ACS to
work properly though, certain steps must first be completed such as setting channels, the
time zone, and the Daylight-Saving feature.

Notes: ACS is available only in limited areas. If ACS fails to get information, you will see a
prompt asking if you want to try again, or set the time and date manually. Setting time and
date information yourself automatically turns off the ACS feature.
