You can customize the clock display in a number of ways:
1.When in Standby mode, use the Left/Right [◁ ▷] arrows to adjust the brightness of the clock display. (This will not affect the brightness settings of the display when in regular playback mode.) Turn the brightness all the way down until you see the word “Standby” to have the screen go completely blank when in Standby. If the screen is blank, pressing the Select [] key will momentarily display the time and date.
2.When in Standby mode, use the Up/Down [ △ ▽] arrows to cycle through modes of display. For example, you can display large and small fonts, display the time but not the date, etc. (Again, these settings will not be applied to your display when you resume SoundBridge’s regular playback mode.)
3.Use the SoundBridge web page to configure the format of the date and time. You can also turn off the clock display altogether. Please see the “SoundBridge Web Interface” chapter of this user guide for instructions on launching your SoundBridge web page.
