Automatic clock setting via RDS

When the set is on, the clock can be automatically set by a time signal broadcast together with the RDS signal.This only works if the RDS station is sending this time signal.

In DAB or FM mode, press and hold MENU on the set (or REPEAT on the remote control) for around 2 seconds to switch it on or off.

Some RDS radio station may be transmitting a real time clock at a minute interval. The accuracy of the transmitted time depends on the transmitting RDS radio station.
