My VCR (a recent RCA) automatically readjusts it's clock for the change
back to standard time. Unfortunately, it didn't wait until 2 AM Sunday
to do this. I had programmed it to tape "Jag" at 9 PM Friday. When I
checked to be sure it was recording about 9:15, I saw that it was not.
The reason was that the clock had reset to standard - and only said
8:15. I had to quickly re-program to start at 8:20 to get the rest of
the program. Why did the clock change Friday instead of Sunday?

complicated for me too. a jvc did the automatic time shift at the
right time. two mitsubishi u778s failed to shift at all - i had to go
into the menu and manually disable daylight savings. is it possible
that the local pbs station didn't send a signal? os is i t somehtign
screwed up internl to the mitsu.. vcrs?

my ancient sony doesn't have these problems - it requires manual
resetting anyway!

the menu for the clock clearly has an automatic daylight savings set.
it worked in the spring to move forward. i assumed it would move back
properly.

i played with it. as i turned daylight savings off and on it moves back
and forward exactly one hour.

so instread of resetting the clock, i only reset the daylight saving
sbit.

hpwever, the u778 does set itself properly on installation from my
local pbs channel, coming over the cable box!

:Does your cable box have to be tuned to the local PBS channel?

i find it faster if i tune to the channel.

This is strange. During the evening yesterday, I noticed that the clock
went back another hour (it was a hour behind the correct time. Later on
it was back to normal.
