Why is the time sometimes changed on my Philips system?

Published on 2017-02-28

It is because a RDS radio station that transmits time signals is tuned to; and the time in this time signal is different from the clock time set in your system. The clock time in the system would be changed automatically according to the time signal of this RDS radio station. This is not a failure.

Note: The accuracy of the time in the time signal depends on the RDS station.
