This VCR 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 Perform Plug & Play setup.
Connect the antenna cable to the VCR ( pg. 12). Then connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet. Do not turn on the VCR.
The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically.

adjustment can only be performed when the VCR 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???. ( pg. 17)
???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 VCR.
What to do if Plug & Play setting failed
???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??? ( pg. 17) or ???Manual Clock Set??? ( pg. 17).

NOTE:
You can only perform ITR using the REC (7) button on the VCR???s front panel.
Time Code
During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This time code is used to confirm the position on the tape when playing back or editing a tape. To perform Random Assemble Editing ( pg. 64), time code is necessary.
Press DISPLAY/OSD until the time code on the tape appears on the front display panel.
???By pressing the DISPLAY/OSD button, you can change the display to show the time code, channel position*, clock time.

NOTES:
The presence of a blank (unrecorded) portion in the middle of a tape can result in misoperation.
A ???blank portion??? of a tape is a section where nothing is recorded on the tape. If you start recording in a blank portion of a tape, the time codes will start from ???0:00:00??? again. If identical time codes are recorded in two different places on a tape, Random Assemble Editing and other similar functions might not operate properly.
In the following cases, you should play back the tape and confirm where a scene ends, and then begin recording from there:
???When starting recording in the middle of a tape on which a recording has already been made.
???When you finish recording on a tape, then played back that recording in order to check it, and now wish to continue recording.
???When you lost power or the batteries died while you were recording with a camcorder.

The VCR Plus+ programing system assigns a VCR Plus+ guide channel to the TV channels and the cable channels. These guide channel numbers are also called the VCR Plus+ channel codes. Most TV listings have a section, usually a chart, indicating the guide channel numbers assigned to each station.
To ensure that VCR Plus+ timer recording operates correctly, it is necessary to set the VCR Plus+ ???Guide Channel Set??? for each station.
If you have moved to a different area or if a broadcasting station???s channel number has been changed, perform the following steps to set the correct guide channel number.
NOTES:
???In many instances, the VCR Plus+ guide channel numbers for cable and broadcast TV stations DO NOT match the channel number on which it is received by your VCR or cable box.
Check your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.
