Setting the Clock The "ACCUCLOCK" features an automatic clock adjusting function automatically sets the clock time by means of RDS broadcast signals. • The "ACCUCLOCK" feature is available only on the European model, and only in areas where RDS broadcasts are available. • Adjust the clock as explained in "Setting the clock manually" on page 24 if you are using U.S. or Canadian models or if you are using the unit in the area where RDS broadcasts are unavailable. Setting the clock automatically (European models only) ACCUCLOCK starts operating as soon as the power cord is plugged in. It then searches for an RDS broadcasting station which regularly sends time signals and waits to receive such time information. Do not operate any buttons until the clock setting is complete. The R-805TX retains the clock setting until you unplug the power cord. The following steps describe how to set the clock automatically: 1. Plug in the power cord. "AUTO" flashes slowly on the display. • It may take about 5 minutes for the time information to be received and displayed after you plug in the power cord. 6. After the clock is initially set, it will be adjusted periodically when the R-805TX is in Standby mode (all input source indicators are turned off) or in ENERGY SAVE mode (the ENERGY SAVE indicator is lit). Notes on using the "ACCUCLOCK" function: • Make sure that your FM antenna has been properly connected as explained on page 18. It is strongly recommended that you install an outdoor FM antenna since the FM indoor antenna may not receive RDS broadcasts well enough to allow ACCUCLOCK to function properly. • The clock will display the time in a 24 hour cycle. For example, 5:30 pm will be displayed as "17:30". (You can select a 12 hour cycle display setting. For more information, see page 25.) • If RDS signals cannot be received, no RDS station will be found. Or if an RDS signal is present but the signal is not strong enough to allow the ACCUCLOCK to automatically set the time, "- -:- -" will lit on the display as shown below. If this occurs, set the clock manually. (See page 24.) flashes slowly 2. Once an RDS station that sends time sig- nals is detected, the indicator flashes more rapidly. flashes rapidly 3. Once the time signal is received from the RDS station, "CLOCK ADJUSTED" will scroll on the display. 4. The received time information (the day of the week and the time) appears. 5. The clock starts running. 22 Adjust the clock manually. • You may wish to adjust the clock manually because the time information may differ depending on the RDS station detected. If so, follow the manual clock adjustment procedure described on page 24. • There may be cases in which you can listen to radio broadcasts but cannot use the ACCUCLOCK function. • Once activated, ACCUCLOCK will remember the RDS station it uses for several weeks even if the power cord of this unit is unplugged. If you move outside the service area of the memorized RDS station and find out that ACCUCLOCK is not functioning, see "Confirming/changing the RDS Station used by ACCUCLOCK" on page 23 to change the memorized RDS station.
