I also face the same problem I use MAGNOVOX MCR140/17 clock radio. The product is excellent but the clock runs slow when used in India as the electrical frequency is 50 Hz compared to 60 Hz so I dont know what to do now.
I am also facing same problem due to mains 50/60 HZ being used for clock in put frequency. Sonashi make digital clock radio does not show proper time. Tried using MM5369 ic with 3.579 mhz crystal but display flickers.

The clock works off the frequency (hertz). In US the electrical wave frequency is 60HZ/sec and in India and many other countries 50HZ/sec. Hence, the clock slows down about 6 seconds or so every minute.
