The realtime clock is built in the DV824.
The realtime clock data is used for date/time of creation of a file.
By default, the realtime clock is set according to local date/time of the factory. There-
fore, set the clock correctly according to your local date/time before using.
Realtime clock setting

The display now shows the MENU list
screen on which "SYS SETUP" is high-
lighted.
3) Use the [MENU] dial to highlight
"Adjust RTC" and press the [ENTER/
YES] key.
The display now shows current clock
data which runs in realtime.
4) Press the [ENTER/YES] key again.

ting) of the "TC SETUP" menu in the MENU mode is set to "24H Run" (

five years. The battery replacement
is done by local Fostex distributor's
service department or their autho-
rized service agent.
