nIf you specified to use an NTP server (ON) in the Auto Setup screen, manual setup is disabled. (You will see an alert message telling so.)

2Change each parameter value as needed, and specify the current date and time.

1Year

Available values: 2005~2030 (factory setting: 2005)

2Month

3When you select OK, the “Saving...” message is shown. The MCX-2000 immediately resets its internal clock as specified, and the result is soon reflected on each MusicCAST client.

nWhen you set the date in the order of year, month and day, available Day values are within a ‘reasonable’ range for the specified Month. If you specify June (“6” for Month), the maximum Day value becomes “30”. If you specify February, the maximum Day value becomes “28” or “29” depending on the Year value. If you set each date value at random, you can even specify June 31. Since incorrect date settings are ‘translated’ into the correct ones after saving operation, June 31 becomes July 1. In addition, the Hour values automatically change in 12-hour or 24-hour clock (plus, 0 or 12 for noon and midnight) according to the Time Display format.
