Selectinga channel

deleted some, you will want to be able to select channels. (If you
have not yet programmed your channels, see page 26, "Program-
ming channels automatically ")
There are two ways to select channels: sequentially or directly.

Press the CHANNEL buttons on the remote control or on the
VCR front panel. This will cycle through the channels in sequen-
tial numerical order.

choose channel 23, press the "2" button, then the "3" button.

button, then the number button, "5". You can also press the
number button "5", then press the ENTER button.

UHF/VHF channels 2--69. If you selected cable antenna the VCR
can receive cable channels 1-125. If you try 1;oselect a channel
number that the VCR cannot receive, the VC R will not change
channels.
Settingthe Clock
Before you can program your VCR to record, you need to set the
clock. This section tells you about the following procedures:
• Using the auto clock function, and
• Setting the clock manually.
Usingthe auto clockfunction
Your VCR can set the clock automatically by picking up a time
signal which some TV and cable channels transmit with their
broadcasts. Most PBS stations send this signal, however, this
function works only if a channel in your area is broadcasting a
time signal. If you don't receive this signal, set the clock manually
using the procedure in the section "Setting the clock manually".
Your VCR automatically sets the clock, time :,one and Daylight
Saving Time; you don't have to adjust Daylight Saving Time.
