Clock - Time

This car audio system is equipped with a
built-in clock which automatically takes ad-
vantage of RDS to ensure highly accurate
time-keeping (hours, minutes).
For the clock to function properly with RDS,
an RDS station with the CT function (CT -
clock time) must be received.
If this signal is not available, the audio sys-
tem will attempt to receive the DCF-77 time
signal (atomic clock) to correct the time the
next time it is switched off. The display will
indicate "CLK Sync" while it is synchronis-
ing the time.
The automatic time correction feature can
be switched off.

Displaying the clock

You can set the clock to permanent display
in any of the operating modes (radio, CD,
changer).
To do so
• Use TU, CD or CDC to select the oper-
ating mode.
• Press DIS repeatedly until the time ap-
pears in the top line of the display.
The clock will now appear in the display as
the main element.

Clock display when the audio system is
switched off
You can have the clock displayed when the
ignition is switched on, but the audio sys-
tem is switched off. Make the correspond-
ing setting in the DSC menu.
If necessary, refer to the section on "DSC
programming - CLK, VIEW".

Setting the clock

a) automatically
The clock is set automatically when the
radio is tuned into an RDS station
which has the "CT" function (clock
time).
b) manually with DSC-CLK
It is not necessary to adjust the clock
manually unless it is not possible to re-
ceive an RDS radio station with CT
(Clocktime).
If you would like to set the clock manu-
ally, refer to the section on "DSC pro-
gramming - CLK, SET".

Selecting a 12 or 24-hour mode

You can choose whether the time is dis-
played in a 12 or 24-hour mode.
If necessary, refer to the section on "DSC
programming - CLK, MODE".

Synchronisation

To improve the accuracy of the internal
clock, it can be synchronised on a regular
basis. This is only possible when the time is
received via an RDS-CT signal and the au-
tomatic synchronisation feature is switched
on (default setting).
If the RDS-CT signal is not available, the
audio system will attempt to receive the
DCF-77 time signal (atomic clock) to cor-
rect the time the next time it is switched off.
The display will indicate "CLK Sync" while it
is synchronising the time.
If you would like to switch off the synchroni-
sation feature, refer to "DSC programming -
CLK, SYNC".
