The Formats Preferences screen enables you to choose a default country for your console and to set default formats for times, dates, and numbers. These formats apply to all the dates, times, and numbers in all the applications on your console. The Formats Preferences screen includes the following settings:

•Preset To. Select a country name. When you select a country, the other settings adjust as well. For example, if you select Germany, time is expressed using a 24-hour clock and the starting day of the week is Monday; if you select the United States, time is expressed using a 12- hour clock with an AM or PM suffix and the starting day of the week is Sunday. You can, however, customize the individual settings regardless of which country you select.
