Setting clock on CD Player

[JanetRose]

Just by chance someone can help.....

I cannot figure out to set the clock on our new CD player.

According to the operation manual, it states under Remote Control: Clock: Press and hold this button to enter the clock setting mode in-standby state.

When I press the button, it blinks - - - - but I don't know how to enter the time.

Thank you!

p.s. I tried to post a picture of the system but file is too big

Are there any other buttons that refer to hours and/or minutes?

Fast forward, volume buttons are usually used.

Just spent 15 minutes pressing every button and got it to work!

Thank you!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who still owns a CD player.

I've owned probably 10 cd players dating back to the 80s, I never had one with a clock. I'm glad OP figured it out!

I really only use my cd player with classical, as the sound is better on a cd than via streaming.

My current players don't get much use anymore, I ripped a bunch to the hard drive. CD does sound better and there's case to be made for good 'ol vinyl too.

Sometimes it's just so easy to ask Alexa to play something. But we have a Wave Radio/CD so music sounds REALLY good on it, especially when you play something from a CD. I do have some vinyl records but my record player doesn't have an AC adaptor and I haven't had the chance or motivation to replace it. Maybe I will one of these days.

Assuming you have a good internet connection, I'm not sure how the sound would be better on CD vs Streaming. They're both digital mediums, so the data should be identical.

Now, what you're listening on could make a difference. If you're listening to the CD player with a well tuned speaker setup vs listening to your phone's speaker, I can understand the difference.

Setting the clock on various electronic devices can be a challenge. Often you can find the owner's manual online that describes what to do. However, I have found even some of those refer to pressing a certain button that isn't obvious. In some cases you have to press & HOLD a button for a set length of time to get into the clock setup mode. A few electronic devices may have setup information printed on the bottom or back of the device.

The sound quality all comes down to bitrate. CD's have a higher bitrate of 1411 kbps compared to streaming services which have a bitrate of around 320 kbps. CD's also provide more uncompressed sound than an mp3. When you have a higher bitrate, you have more data being transferred into the audio and thus better sound. Now, is this distinguishable to the naked ear? Oftentimes no, unless you're listening to something very loudly or you're listening to classical which can have very high treble and the difference is noticeable if you listen carefully.

My current car was one of the last models to have a CD player as standard equipment. That, and having an actual spare tire, were the primary reasons I bought the model I did.
