Dpx503bt: Clock will not set the time. I follow the manual's instructions and it reverts back to 12:00. I turned off time sync but that did not resolve the issue. How can I fix this?

Try turning off the "time sync" setting and see if it does it. With this setting is on, the radio will automatically synchronize itself to whatever radio station your listening to. (Signal sent along with the carrier )

None of these answers works! When I tried the first option, the clock DID NOT flash at 12:00 a.m. Since that didn't happen, none of the following steps did either.

The second option didn't work either. Holding the set key never made the display go to a colon, flashing or otherwise. Again, using the forward and back keys didn't work as described.

The third option with a link to another website led to instructions on a power tool and had nothing whatsoever to do with the clock on the docking station.

The fourth option doesn't give any instructions after you hit the time you want to set. The time DOESN'T stay where you set it. It once you release the forward or backward keys, it reverts to the original time that was on the clock to begin with.

None of these answers works at all. I was given the iPod touch and the radio docking station secondhand from my sister and she doesn't have either the instruction manual or the special batteries that go in the battery compartment. The clock on the iPod itself is fine. I finally figured out (on my own) how to turn off the danged alarms and timing mechanisms but cannot set the clock.

1. set time/datepush the pusher at 4:00 for couple second to start setting mode.pusher at 4:00 is to select time/date, pusher at 2:00 is to adjust time/date

2. if off sync between analog and digital clock happen. You need to resyn
step 1: follow the instruction 1 to set digital clock to 12:00.
step 2 : push and hold both pushers at 2:00 and 4:00 for couple second until it shows sync mode.
step 3: once it enter sync mode, you can use pushers at 2:00 and 4:00 to adjust the analog time to 12:00 same as digital.
step 4: push the pusher at 3:00 to exit the sync mode.
step 5: follow the instruction 1 to adjust digital time to correct time. Analog time will adjust it automatically.

I wonder if your 'Sync to current time zone' box, under 'Start > Settings > System tab > Clock & Alarms > Time tab', is unchecked...
Other thoughts: check, with a Task Manager, if ActiveSync is running in the background. If so, set its schedule to sync manually. However, if no sync data are set at all, you can either set it to sync with an exchange server, like 'm.google.com' (if you have a google account, that is), or even fill in completely fake exchange server data, provided that the sync schedule is set to manual. Then, you can exit ActiveSync (or even kill its process).
Hope you are able to sort your problems out soon, but, please, let me know if you need further assistance.

I don't know about your atomic sync problem. But here is how you can set the time zone:

Push the Time button once. This will change the Month/Day window to Alarm 1. Push the up button until the desired time zone is reached. Push the Time button twice more to return back to Month/Day display.

If you call Dacor they will talk you through the solution but you have to have another person ready to turn the breaker off while someone is pushing a button. I have contacted them and am trying to get the instructions emailed.
