The date and day dont match on the qt 6000 the date is correct but it is showing it as another day. even the month and year and good so i dont know whats happening.

On my model, I go to menu, then calendar, then calendar will show up & you can use arrows at the top to pick month & year, then once you got the right month, tap on correct day. that is for the date.

The time should come up automatically when you turn on your phone. Mine even changes to correct daylight saving time automatically.

At the end of a month with less than 31 days you must manually advance the date.

I have the same machine and the same problem as you do. Apparently, because this model has a hardwired, built in calendar, it experiences a "Y2K"-like problem and will not record (even manually!) when you either try to program a date that is more recent than 2008, or the machine's present date "hits the wall." The solution is to program a year that is identical to the current year. Example: day and date-wise, 2014 is identical to 1997. So entering the correct month and day, but using 1997 for the year entry will allow normal operation with correct day/date timer operation and the stupid CPU will be none the wiser. As for using this machine with modern HDTVs, there should be no problem as long as the TV has standard analog A/V jacks. For recording the machine would need a source of standard-def video, either basic cable TV or a digital converter box if using over the air signals. BTW, 1998 is a match for 2015, so the above solution will be good for two years. After that, just look up a leap within 1990 to 2008 year that matches 2016.

open shortcut on pc..it will show correct date, time, etc tho unit does not as it hasn't changed days..on the shortcut, click on Update settings then Send to receiver..then punch in button on back of Station..says "pc search"..transmitter on unit will start steady flashing..unit will go black..gradually everything comes back..don't touch until all back..everything will now match the stuff on the shortcut and the day and date will have changed to the correct one..I do this process every day.

Press the SET button until the month if flashing. Then press the CH button until the correct month is showing. Press SET again so that the day is flashing. Press CH button until correct day is showing. Press SET so that the year is flashing. Press CH button until correct year is showing. Press SET until nothing is flashing. You should be done.

The current time and date are shown on the display when the machine is on and ready for use (standby mode). The time and date are printed on all faxes you send.
Note: If power to the machine is cut off for over 30 minutes, when power is restored, the machine prompts you to reset the time and date.

Day = 01~31
Month = 01~12

You can also use left arrow or right arrow to move the cursor under the digit you want
to correct, then enter a new number.
6. Press Start/Enter when the time and date on the display is correct. If you enter an invalid number, the machine beeps and does not proceed to the next step. If this happens, just reenter the correct number.
The display shows the time and date you have set, then returns to

My Solution for Mitsubishi HS-U500 VCR setting the date for 2008 and beyond:
I had same problem with this old unit as everyone else has.  Since the year really doesn't matter (except maybe when you're setting to tape near a new year), here's how to get the day and dates correct:
On the remote, push Menu button, then select "First time setup", then select "Set the Clock", then select the month.  Now, start adjusting the YEAR and watch how the "days" change with the years.  Adjust the years so that the "Day" (Monday, Tuesday, etc.) matches the date (1,2, 22, 23, 28, etc.) in the month.  Then cycle thru the rest of the items and get out by hitting menu button again.  
That's it!  That's my quicky solution.  Caveat: This may not be permanent with leap years and the like, so you may need to check it from time to time to make sure the days match up with the dates.  But you can do this when you go to set up for timed taping.  Hope that "FIXes" it for "Ya"!
