Hi Michael I received mine today and, believe it or not, I had exactly the same problem as you. But my friend Ian told me that you have to wait a few seconds whenever you are setting the time and date because there is a long lag from your press of the button until you receive speech feedback. It is easy to do once you know there will be speech at some point after a press! (smile). Go into Preferences, Set Time And Date, and use the arrow keys to adjust its parameters. When you are done, press enter to accept.

It's a great little unit but...I'm trying to set the date and time, and at no time does it speak anything, either month, day, hour, minute or anything. I know the clock is wrong because when I record anything it is given a date and time which is completely wrong. Either I am doing something completely wrong, or Olympus are the stupidest bunch of people on the planet. Why would they produce a device like this with voice-guidance throughout except when setting date and time? Any help would be appreciated. I would love to be proven wrong and told I am being a wally. But unless I can set the time and date without sighted assistance it is going back. Mike -- Michael A.
