The clock isn't lighting up/ the music isn't playing

Go to their website and ask for help there.

The sensor/sending unit in the clock movement is bad. The movement needs to be replaced.

There can be up to three separate power lines to the radio - ignition, dash light and auxiliary (always on). Check the ignition power wire for good connection and possible blown fuse.

To test your Seiko Melodies in Motion Clock:

1) Check the volume knob in the back of the Seiko clock to make sure the volume has not been adjusted all the way down.
2) Make sure the on / off switch is set to on.
3) If it is extremely dark in the room, the clock will not play, it has a light sensor. Make sure the room is well lit.
4) There are separate batteries usually that operate the clock and the music. Change the batteries paying special attention to any acid / corrosion caused by old batteries. Clean out any acid and it should play. Also, be careful not to touch the positive or negative contacts on the new batteries, as this could inhibit proper connection.

If you have done each step above and it is still not operating, your clock is defective. Contact Seiko Service Center directly at: 800-722-4452 extension 3.

If you have had the clock less than a year, and it was purchased from an authorized dealer, it is under warranty, and any repairs will be free. Otherwise, there may be a charge for the repair.

I have a Seiko musical motion clock that I bought in Japan a few years ago. For setting the time it has a "A" and "B" button that you hold down? I dont have the instructions to set the time. It says "Radio Controlled" but the time was always manually set before by luck trial and error. How do you set the time?

It is likely that you didn't line up the music button with the indent. I needed to push my music button out and gently align th knob with the indent so that the connection was made. Also my watch has a plastic disk that had 2 holes for little metal tabs to stick through so that the watch grounded or something. It took me 5 times of trial and error, but mine works. My watch however plays 2 tunes and is the Taz & Mrs. Taz Armitron.

Turn on the lights in your room and it will be obvious. On the Bose Wave Music System clock radio remote there is a + and - button labeled "time." This is how you set the time. Hold either the + button to move the time forward or the - button to set the time backwards. You don't need to push any buttons before you press the + or -. After you have set the time you can press the "alarm time" button to lock in your changed time.

The standard remote does not have a back-light feature. However, if you bought the optional larger remote and try to set the clock in the dark with the back-lit buttons, you won't be able to see the word "time" above the + and - buttons. This is because the word "time" is written on the metal part of the remote, which does not illuminate with the back-lighting feature.

We have an Jensen JiMS-200 and it's a ipod docking station, which has a clock in it. We got no instructions in the box and have no idea how to change the time. I have searched the net without any success... Chez

this must be done while a cd is playing

other than just double checking your switches settings there really isn't much you can do ,as there really isn't any easy to replace parts inside and that would be cost prohibitive anyhow , but do remember it is a clock radio , if its set t o use the alarm the radio will not work and not the cd either , ck all your switches for proper setting , one may have got bumped by you or cleaning staff
this is the reason I use a sound bar/phone dock as I use it to charge my phone and play music all day at my desk , they only cost about fifteen bucks to buy , and best thing is there's nothing for anyone to mess with when im not there as it wont work without my phone docked in it !!
