Use the DATE/TIMEitem from the MENUto set the internal clock to the current time.

The unit uses its internal clock to include the date and time of the recording in its file.

Be sure to use file formats that this unit can play back. These formats include MP3 (32–320 kbps, 44.1 kHz) and WAV (44.1 kHz, 16/24-bit).
