Mike, yes there is speech feedback in the time and date setting. It's just not 
as obvious as the other feedback.
  When you're in the time and date section you will hear a prompt telling you 
how to set the clock, by using the up, down, left and right buttons. Use the 
left and right buttons to navigate between columns, year, month, date, hour and 
minutes, and the up and down buttons to get to the desired date. Each time you 
arrow up or down the current setting will be spoken.
                    John.

  Hello,

  I just bought an Olympus DM5 digital voice recorder from Amazon, used.

  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
