: Now it looks more like MY VCR--endlessly flashing 12:00, 12:00, 12:00....
: No matter how many times my electricity goes out or the kids pull the
: plug, I have to find the instruction book to set the time (after several
: days of the obnoxious flash).  Even then, it STILL aint easy!

What you need is one of these simple little remote controllers.

Now...to reset your time is real easy !


All you do is :

Switch on the TV to the video channel.
Press the bottom RH corner button to get the program display on screen.
Select the Language you want to use ( probably ENGLISH )
Use the UP arrow buttons on the remote to go to the very top line 
and then set the year, month, date and time in hours and minutes 
using the 24 hour time format.

When all is correct press the bottom RH corner button again to 
activate the time clock. You are now in business until the next time 
someone pulls the plug.

Now if you want to know how to use the LCD CHANNEL PROGRAM DISPLAY 
on the Remote - I'll just have to go away and check the Manual, I 
shouldn't be long......


Time Out
NO CARRIER
