Setting the Clock
The ”ACCUCLOCK“ features an automatic
clock adjusting function automatically sets
the clock time by means of RDS broadcast
signals.
• The “ACCUCLOCK” feature is available
only on the European model, and only in
areas where RDS broadcasts are available.
• Adjust the clock as explained in “Setting
the clock manually” on page 24 if you are
using U.S. or Canadian models or if you
are using the unit in the area where RDS
broadcasts are unavailable.
ACCUCLOCK starts operating as soon as the
power cord is plugged in. It then searches for
an RDS broadcasting station which regularly
sends time signals and waits to receive such
time information. Do not operate any but-
tons until the clock setting is complete. The
R-805X retains the clock setting until you
unplug the power cord.
The following steps describe how to set the
clock automatically:
1. Plug in the power cord.
“AUTO” flashes slowly on the display.
2. Once an RDS station that sends time sig-
nals is detected, the indicator flashes
more rapidly.
3. Once the time signal is received from the
RDS station, “CLOCK ADJUSTED” will
scroll on the display.
4. The received time information (the day of
the week and the time) appears.
5. The clock starts running.
• It may take about 5 minutes for the time
information to be received and displayed
after you plug in the power cord.
6. After the clock is initially set, it will be
adjusted periodically when the R-805X is
in Standby mode (all input source indica-
tors are turned off) or in ENERGY SAVE
mode (the ENERGY SAVE indicator is lit).
Notes on using the “ACCUCLOCK” function:
• Make sure that your FM antenna has
been properly connected as explained on
page 18. It is strongly recommended that
you install an outdoor FM antenna since
the FM indoor antenna may not receive
RDS broadcasts well enough to allow
ACCUCLOCK to function properly.
• The clock will display the time in a 24
hour cycle. For example, 5:30 pm will be
displayed as “17:30”. (You can select a 12
hour cycle display setting. For more infor-
mation, see page 25.)
• If RDS signals cannot be received, no RDS
station will be found.
Or if an RDS signal is present but the sig-
nal is not strong enough to allow the
ACCUCLOCK to automatically set the
time, “- -:- -” will lit on the display as
shown below. If this occurs, set the clock
manually. (See page 24.)
• You may wish to adjust the clock manually
because the time information may differ
depending on the RDS station detected. If
so, follow the manual clock adjustment
procedure described on page 24.
• There may be cases in which you can lis-
ten to radio broadcasts but cannot use
the ACCUCLOCK function.
• Once activated, ACCUCLOCK will remem-
ber the RDS station it uses for several weeks
even if the power cord of this unit is
unplugged. If you move outside the service
area of the memorized RDS station and
find out that ACCUCLOCK is not function-
ing, see “Confirming/changing the RDS Sta-
tion used by ACCUCLOCK” on page 23 to
change the memorized RDS station.
