I have one, but I can't figure out how to display the clock when the stereo is off. Am I missing something, or is that not possible?

Push the view button between the Audio button and the number 1 preset. You should be able to toggle to clock

To be honest with you, I have a clock on my dashboard, so I really haven't looked into setting the clock on my stereo. Sorry, I wish I would've been more help.

Yes you may disable the Display Auto-Off feature. Not sure what other folks are talking about with these clocks not working? I have four of them and they all work perfectly. I have numerous La Crosse Technology clocks scattered around the house. These four, plus two digital & five big analog "atomic" models. Some are over 15 years old and still work flawlessly. The analogs are always kinda neat when they set themselves and you hear the motors buzzing the hands around.

There's a small button on the right that lets you choose between a bright back light, a dim back light or no back light. Even the dim is too bright for me. I turn it off but then have no way to see the time.

For what it's worth, mine is different. I have to hold both the Menu and Play/Pause buttons simultaneously to turn off the blinking light. Holding just the menu button backs out of the menu(s), turns off music, and forces it into clock mode.

What model do you have? If it's the JID0124 that Amazon is asking me about, it only displays time, so date-related information such as leap year and day is immaterial. If you can't figure it out, return it quickly. Many people seem to be having trouble with clocks from DBTech/DBRoth. Mine doesn't work the way the instructions describe.

There is no means provided to invert the display. I suspect that you were hoping to use the top display / control to set the clock from behind and frankly is not set-up for that. You'd probably be better off with something that has a remote or more standard interface...

No there is no display. However, when the unit goes off it returns to the previous setting when turned back on.

If you can't see the time and date then its definitely broken. My unit is bright enough to clearly display the time & date, even during daylight hours. There is only one level of "brightness"(the default).

You are correct - the manual is useless. So neither do I know how to operate the radio. When using it on batteries it comes on by itself (runs down batteries needlessly). After losing power, either from run-down batteries or being unplugged from ac it loses all memory of station sets and time. Directions are not clear as to how to set time or preset stations. I'm ready to toss it.

The clock is only visible when you push the Display button (only shows the time temporarily for a few seconds, then returns to displaying either the station frequency or file name of the music currently playing). The clock is 12-hour format only; there is no 24-hour standard time format available. From my experience with this unit, the built-in clock isn't extremely accurate. It's generally less than a minute off every month or so. For most people, this is good enough. Me personally, though? I'm glad the clock stays hidden by default because I have a clock mounted to my dash above the stereo.

Yes you can see the display in the dark. The back light goes out after a couple of minutes. Don't know about the clock, having 24 hr settings

Hello. You will have to press the clock button. The time will display for a few seconds then revert back to the original display.

The display does not show a clock. You can get the time by hitting a button on the remote.

Sounds like the radio has a problem. If the station you have set for alarm isn't accessible, the backup alarm 'chime' should have sounded. The fact that the clock is slow also makes me believe the radio is defective. Your question regarding having the time display quickly is a good one - I don't believe you can. It's another little annoyance in the UI that should be fixed.

I believe the question refers to the digital time not being backlit. This is an issue I also have with this unit. Very hard to read the time. In fact, any of the info on the screen is hard to read!
