Re: Set clock on HT1250

You can set the clock via radio menu. You do not need a full keypad. It keeps time like a sundial on a cloudy day. Okay, it keeps time very well. It just won't retain the current time over time, even with a good internal battery. :)

Independent of CPS and the drawer unit, you program control heads to CH1 and CH2 via each control head's own self-contained programming mode (multi-button press/hold, power on sequence). Are you familiar with this sequence? The drawer is not a player nor connected at this point. When you've got them...
