yeaa i ve found out how to display the time.
during any mode aux, tuner, standby or usb; in which you want the time to be displayed press the play / pause button for about a second, "display selection" show up on the display. move the knob up and down to change the option to "clock". then press the "M.jog" button (button to the left of src).
to set the time press the M.jog button during standby mode till display shows "menu". then moving the knob up and down go to set clock and select it (by pushing knob inwards). set the time by moving knob up/down left right and press any key ...
now the next prob is whether i can change the time format to am/pm.
This unit rocks. its louder and more clear than any kenwood pre i ve ever listened to.
it may not be as beautiful or have a better display than the new pioneers. it is better than 3050 in the following respects:
it has the bluetooth unit option:
u can plug in a usb bluetooth device (must be compatible) and stream stereo music from a phone
attend a phone.
send and recieve sms.
also shows phone's signal strength and battery.
quality is awesome. really cool.
the printed antenna on my car has been rubbed away so i cudnt recieve all the fm stations. but with this pre i can recieve all - the pre has good reception and noise reducing DSP.
the 3050 seems to hav a better display and better buttons/knob. m not liking the knob on this pre.
