Setting The Clock - Sony MDS-JA30ES Operating Instructions Manual

Getting Started

Setting the Clock

Once you set the MD deck's internal clock, the MD
deck will automatically record the date and time of all
recordings. When playing a track, you can display the
date and time the track was recorded (see page 21).
Time on this deck is displayed on a 12-hour clock (USA
and Canadian models only) or a 24-hour clock
(European model only).
