2.Select the SYSTEM menu from the MAIN menu. Navigate using the up and down arrows on the front panel (or remote control). Highlight the selection in Green, and press the ENTER button to enter the SYSTEM Menu.

3.Select the DATE AND TIME Menu. Change the settings by navigating with the UP/DOWN/LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys. Set the following based on your local Time (and Timezone), and set the current date for the system.

•Date/Time - Sets the current system Date and Time.*

•Date Format - Sets the Date Display

format(MM-DD-YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD, etc.).

•Time Format - Sets the Time Display format to either 12 or 24 hour display.

•Network Time Server Setup - Synchronizes the system to the specified remote time server. Select the SYNC button to connect to the remote server and synchronize the

time. (may also use a time server of the users choice).

•Timezone Setup - Selections for the local Time Zone (i.e. EST, CST, PST). The DST (Daylight Savings Time) can be set to ON/OFF.

*NOTE: If the Date/TIme is set into the past, a message will appear warning that Overlapped date(s) will be erased.
