Problem solved. I found out AUTO SET was the default for the clock, even though I'd manually set it, and the DST setting was wrong. I turned both of those off, and now it is working beautifully. I'm so happy with this machine. It's my first Toshiba, and at this point, I would gladly recommend it. (Just watch that AUTO setting!)

I bought mine in August 2011 and my clock would hold the correct time for a few days, maybe a week, but then it would be off anywhere from 1 1/2 hours to 24 hours. I called Toshiba customer support, he led me through the "fix" and now it works perfect. The solution was very simple - I needed to turn off the "auto" setting. Other than the clock issue, mine has been excellent and does everything it's supposed to do. I would also recommend it - it's much easier to use than my Panasonic which does basically the same things this one does.

I just figured out how to shut off the AUTO SET and the DST settings. Thanks for your help!

You have to go into the AUTO SET sub-menu, so to speak. Don't rely on clicking MANUAL SET. Do that, certainly, but then click on AUTO SET to get its options. Turn it off there as well.It's been awhile since I did it now, but as I recall, I also deactivated Daylight Savings Time. The government has switched that around so much that I don't trust automatic updates anymore.

I don't think I have the "auto" setting on and mine still jumps ahead 3 hours every few days. Please tell me how you fixed that. Thanks!

OK, I just found and changed the AUTO SET and the DST settings. I hope that does the trick. Thanks for the tip!

I don't know the number, but be sure to go into Auto Clock Set and turn it off. It doesn't matter if you've selected Manual Set from the main menu; you have to also turn off Auto inside its own menu. Which is a little ridiculous, but... It worked for me. My clock has run perfectly ever since.

Mine skips ahead 3 hours. Where do I find the customer service number for Toshiba? Thank you very much!

How do you turn off the AUTO SET? Your help with this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks much!

We received one for Christmas and the sun and metronome did not work. The first time I called the company they did not have an explanation. We returned and got another, but again the sun and metronome did not work. This time the company said that they changed it so the sun and note no longer work (as of Dec. 30, 2013). So disappointing :(

Apparently from the other answers it looses correct time after a while (4 hours?), but keeps the settings (probably a small flash mem chip on board).My feeling is that it would just be one more clock to reset after a power outtage....Coffee Maker, Microwave, Oven, Bedside Alarm Clocks,Clock Radios, Etc.So it does not concern me.All I have to do is remember! :-)

I have never had that problem with mine. It seems to be fairly simple to operate......you turn it on, set the temperature, set the time, done. However, if you set it on the highest temp setting (which in my opinion is too hot) it will revert to the lowest temperature setting after 1 hour. I am not sure why. However, anything outside of this.....I would look into sending it back. I love this product and so do my clients.

Best thing you can do is send this clock back. They are all pieces of crap. It isnanshame too because I really liked it. I had no trouble getting mine to set. But unfortunately when I did.....the numbers kept fading in and out. There is a little map on the screen. Just toggle one of the buttons on top till you find the one that darkens the area of the map in which you live. The clock should set itself thereafter as far as the time goes. Hope you have better luck with your than I did mine.

The best I can explain it to you is that after you set alarm times 1 and 2, be sure to press button #1 again to set your alarm time (for each time) you set the alarm. Go on to #3, make sure you cancel out #3 alarm time, by pressing button number 2 until you get this display( --:-- ) this display will accour after 11:oo pm or 23:00 hours if you are using the 24 hour format. Let me know if this helped you at all. Tom

As nearly as I could tell, there isn't one that works reliably-- apparently due to a defect in the clock. LaCrosse tech support replaced mine with a different model (complete with new sensor/sending unit) and the new one works just fine. If yours is still in warranty, call for a replacement. If not, it's time for a new clock.

Hi! No matter what angle or what dimmer setting - I can't read the display. It seems that the back lighting is too bright and everything is lit. Instead of 8:30 like the picture on the left here says... my clock reads 8:88

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 there's a reset button you can hit using a paperclip. I don't have mine in front of me, but it's on one of the side ports. I may have experienced this once, or it wouldn't turn off or on. Either way, the reset button fixed it and you just have to set the date/time, etc..

As others have mentioned, check to see that the unit is not set to manually on, if it is not then you probably are experiencing the beginning of many problems to come with this unit. I returned the one I bought because of similar problems. Mine experienced problems early and multiplied with age. Read some of the reviews on Amazon. I would advise taking it back if possible. This would be a great unit if it worked properly for a reasonable amont of time.

This was a great gift but setting the timer did not seem very intuitive. Unfortunately, the clock was a gift for someone and I don't have access to it to refresh my memory... but I do remember I tried many things and was about to give up... then found directions after an internet search. Wish I could be of more help. Good luck!

I don't have it in front of me (its at my moms house) but I think I just progressed the time on each alarm and there was a spot where the time would vanish. (Probably just after 12;00 or 24:00)

Previous answers are correct. Enjoy the machine. I like mine and set it on timer. The display is bright and easy to read.

Just make sure you set the new one to the correct time zone. Its buried somewhere in the Honeywell software options. Mine reset to the incorrect time as well (after I manually reset the time.) I'm in AZ and the daylight savings option was throwing everything off.

Gary, I was hoping to hear from you!!I left it off overnight - when I turned it on in the morning, it resumed (was in pause) at the same song that I have been listening to the night before. I needed only to press pause to resume!Hope this helps you.Happy to assist...these forums are wonderful!Jerry

That's the biggest problem with this item. You have to be at the time you want and you set the hours you want till the next feeding & turn on. I have 2 units, one set for 1:30 am & pm and the other at 7:30 am & pm. They each lose 1-2 minutes every day & need to be reset at 1:30 & 7.30. Using 2 units at 12 hrs means I only have to fill them every other day. I hope this helps and is not too confusing.
