I'm not sure what settings I have for auto and Daylight savings, but my unit has always lost about 30 seconds a week. I feel better seeing it's not hours off like others report. This unit is full of bugs and I sent Toshiba a list but they don't seem to care. Too bad a $5 Timex keeps better time...

This happend to mine also. I seen this advice on another site. Unplug it, wait a little, plug back in. Go to the setting menu. Go to clock. Make sure to turn off the auto clock setting. Then set it manually. This seemed to work for me. If this doesn't work you probally got a lemon.

I found a solution that seems to fix the erratic clock. Turn the Auto setting to "off". Then turn Daylight Savings to "off".

My new DR570 also has a clock problem. In talking with Toshiba customer support I find they know about the problem which has to do with the various tuners in the DVR unit. This problem is a software problem. The solution is the one above from William Lehman who said to turn the auto setting to "off" as well as the Daylight savings to "Off", then set the clock manually.

My clock is also defective to the point of gaining or losing 3-4 hours per day. I have set it manually and automatically with no difference. Re-read the manual and no help. Since so many have reported this problem, I see no solution but to return it and buy another brand. BL

I have mine set for 5 am ( the default) and 5 pm. Those are set as 1 & 2, the other three I set for 5pm (1700) also, just like the 2nd setting.

Apparently from the other answers it looses correct time after a while (4 hours?), but keeps the settings (probably a small flash mem chip on board).My feeling is that it would just be one more clock to reset after a power outtage....Coffee Maker, Microwave, Oven, Bedside Alarm Clocks,Clock Radios, Etc.So it does not concern me.All I have to do is remember! :-)

Yes. We have tried to find a way to change it and can't. Does anyone out here know how to change to standard time?

The mount *does* save the time (and date)! Sadly this feature (which they call RTC, short for "real time clock") is turned off by default. You just have to turn it on using the handbox: Menu -> Utilities -> Turn on/off RTC. Why they don't turn it on by default, I'll never know.

The time on mine always resets after I turn it off and back on. However, it always sets to the correct date, and exactly one hour behind the correct time regardless of what I've set it to. It's almost as if it has a way to automatically set the time, but has the wrong time zone or daylight saving time set. I thought it might be getting the info from the GPS; but I recently traveled to a different time zone, and it reset the time to two hours behind. In other words, it didn't know that I traveled to a different time zone.

Sorry, but I have no idea. I bought this online, paid to have it installed, and hated it!!! (no default clock function - idiotic dancing display default instead!). So I had it removed and sold it for an expensive loss....

Send it back. We couldn't get ours to keep the correct time and the company kept telling me that it would adjust itself. It never did.

First thing I'd check receptacle for power.Plug in a tester or lamp. If that doesn't work try "reset" button,which should clear all,then input station times,clock etc.

Simple. Just push the switch to turn or off manually. It will over ride your time settings.

Sorry, our clock is working just fine. Have not had to reset it since we set up the machine.

I'm pretty sure Zotac is working on a revision to this board. There was a problem with the wake-on USB function on the original shipment. I'm sure most vendors are holding off until Zotac gets this fixed (or likely Zotac isn't shipping anymore until they fix it).

Hi Janet . . . You need a much more technical person than I am. Ours hasn't given us any problems. Toshiba tech support would be my first stop. Good luck.

No, mine is on for at least 10 hours a day. I would try reinstalling drivers.

It's a problem with the machine. It would do that whenever mine went to sleep and started up again. I tried everything, and talked to everyone with no success. I returned it. I got the V5-552PG-x809 when it went down to $669 and it is incredible. Everything works as it should.

This may be a dumb question, but....since this unit uses a 24 hour clock are you maybe setting the time wrong? Such as setting a show that starts at 8 PM to start at 0800 instead of 2000? My unit turns itself on and records my scheduled programs and turns itself off until the next scheduled program.

Sorry I own the QL 570. Call Brother tech. They have the best tech support.
