I have been messing with this clock for 10 years!!!! I would happen upon a correct time read and leave it there, but sooo grateful to have accurate directions. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much. I've been wanting an old school radio for my kitchen and scored this clock radio at the thrift store. Had looked to Target since they seem to be back in style with younger kids, but what I came across looked cheap and disposable, so I thought I'd check out my local thrift store. Anywho, I never would've figured out how to set the time without your video. Much appreciated!
This was perfect! I have had this great little clock for years, and I forgot how to do this. Great video! I was able to get the time and alarm set easily with your instruction! Thank you!
WOW! Almost a year since you posted this and MANY, MANY THANKS! I've had this clock for years and couldnt remember how the set up of the time. I see I am not alone, HA. I no longer need an "o dark'thirty Alarm set, so wanted to change it and also my clock from being 15 mins fast. Retirement no longer requires that, either. Thank you so much again! I never would have gotten it...and was about ready to go buy a more simpler clock
I like many others who commented, had this clock for years. It always had the wrong time because I didn’t know how to set it correctly. Changing at daylight savings time because of the default worked each year and I settled for that until I decided to search for a how to and I found your instructions. Worked perfectly! Thank you!
Thanks! I just bought one of these from Goodwill and thought I bought a bad one because I couldn't adjust the time. But with your help I was able to set the time!
Thank you!!!!! Who knew it is that complicated but it is!!!! I kept trying to set the minutes and then the hour separately and was about to tear my hair out! Plus I had no idea my region (Calif) so thanks so much...worked a charm following your video..thx you kind Sir I misplaced the instructions...thx god for RUclips :):)
Thanks man! Very well communicated! after I messed around with this clock for quite some time … … … I watched your video which explains everything succinctly and in order too!
Thanks so much! I was given a hand me down version of this clock, an even older model. I have the instruction manual laying around somewhere but didn't want to dig it up. Thank you!
Eureka‼️... U da MAN‼️🤙🏽🙏🏽✝️ Figuring out this digital clock was made simple with YOUR help/assistance on how to operate 🙂 keep up the great work 👍 🤙🏽‼️💯
This is “almost” the worst clock radio … the radio is great. Changing the time requires PhD! What could be worse than the Dream Machine? It’s the SONY ICF-C1B … Thank goodness for How-To instructions on You Tube from ‘geniuses’ who walk me through step-by-step.
nice, successful, but you can call this (Sony ''Dream Machine'') the Nightmare Machine ! - too friggin' complicated: who doesn't know what year it is - how about what planet - all people want to do is set the time (after power blackout for example) instead of these convolutions
They got to simplify it. You should be able to figure out any clock/radio in a minute how to set time and such. I have one of these and I always forget how to do it.
what if it doesn’t has a time zone button?? please i’m 17, I’m not made for this 😀 not even my dad knows how to set the hour on this thing, I’d just like to see the time in something else apart from my phone
Don’t recommend using the automatic daylight savings time feature. Since Congress changed the date that the change takes place every every spring and fall, the clock is now programmed to change on the old incorrect dates so you will wake up to find you clock an hour off of the correct time.
never known such a stupid clock to set up why do you need a month and year on your alarm clock then when you set the time how do you determine am and pm? sorry this is going in the bin
Who needs all of this complicated shyte for an alarm clock? The news accounts for DST. And the time zone thing can just be entered through the TIME! Technology is stupid and I missed like three days work from two different jobs because of shut like this. Come on Sony. Instead of selling out and trying to be Pixar you should make a simple alarm clock , but NO. Those cost more!

I agree
Ty
Any idea how to set it to a 24 hour clock as mine was but now isn’t?
I can not get the right alarm setting could you help
what if it doesn’t has a time zone button?? please i’m 17, I’m not made for this 😀 not even my dad knows how to set the hour on this thing, I’d just like to see the time in something else apart from my phone

thanks for the tip
Why does it say auto time set on the front?
Thank you for this. Ridiculous non-intuitive device.
never known such a stupid clock to set up why do you need a month and year on your alarm clock then when you set the time how do you determine am and pm? sorry this is going in the bin
