I have the same clock and am always able to change it manually with no problems....have you tried unplugging it for a few minutes and then powering back on to see if it adjusts properly?

II need to print a soney dream machine manual

HelloI've the user manual to your Sony AM/FM clock radio. There are so many model numbers to these devcies. If you give me the exact model number [not the serial number], I'll search in my system library for that manual. If has,, if you send your email address to me by Fixya comment box, I'll send a copy of it to you, if I have it. If you need only a manual to sony AM/FM clock radio, send your email address to me now. I'll send you one[ user manual for SONY ICF-707 AM/FM clock radio. OK

You can download the manual from the manufacturer's web site at

this is because the US changed the dates for DST, you either have to get new firmware (not really an option) or just wait until the time change to occur in your device based on last years date of time change (this whole DST ) is just stupid in my less than humble opinion.

This is easily fixed. Set the time manually the 1st time. Make sure you use the CORRECT time, which is four minutes less than what the clock said when you first plugged it in. Once you reset the timing, it will remember the four minute difference and always show the correct time.

alarm clocks works on frequency and not only on voltage.if it is original 110v 60htz and you trying with 220v 50htz supply then it wont work correctly

Have you tried to manually reset the time? I had the same problem. It got the the point where it was almost 20 minutes fast - I finally looked up the manual on-line and found instructions to manually reset it. It seemed to work just fine. I'm not sure if I have the same model as you do, but I'm sure the procedure is similar. I suggest you search the net for your manual.

Sometimes the colon is the 'seconds' count - did it always do this? Try to unplug for 1 minute and then reset the time - if it still flashes I suspect that it was a built in feature - some do this...

The laser has gone weak. If you feel confident taking it apart, unplug it and look for a small potentiometer on the CD reading pickup. Turn it to the right to about 700 ohms, it should start reading again. If you don't have a multimeter to measure it then get one, a basic $10 meter will do fine.

I just did the trial and error thing. it's okay now. thanks
