To change the time you need a way to change the frequency of the carbon atom which is used to determ time in atomic clocks, the GPS system and by Greenwich Mean Time.

To change to Daylight Savings time, follow instructions for your time zone on the following website.

time and date

just go to google.com then type this in the search bar "Goldstar KD-36D Digital manual.rar".

it looks as if the machine does not do daylight saving automaticaly you have to change your time manually do the following.


SET THE DATE AND TIME ACCORDING TO THESE BUTTONS
[USER FUNCTIONS]-[ADMIN]-[GENERAL]-[CLOCK]-[DATE/TIME]

All you need to do to advance your clock an hour for daylight savings time, is hold down your clock button without letting it go. Then press your hour button once and you should be all set.
Most clocks that are older than when they changed the date of daylight savings time will either not change it for you on the right day anymore. Or they don't have that feature in it.
If yours does have an automatic daylight savings feature...you may find it helpful to take it off "automatic" and just change it manually from now on. That's what I do with my VCR. It has an automatic daylight savings time feature, but it's useless now that they have changed the date when we set our clocks for DST.
Some manufacturers will give you instructions on how to change the feature settings so your product will again work correctly for you. But not all will or can. You can look it up at your manufacturers website to know for sure.
Good Luck...and I hope this helps you.

Below you will find the instructions straight out of the manual. I have also put a link to the whole searchable HTML manual at the bottom of this post Enter the Date and Time Before setting the date and time, you should select the appropriate Daylight Saving Time setting for your region. This setting lets you easily set the clock one hour ahead or one hour back when the time change takes place. 1. Press the Setup button. 2. Select Printer Setup. You see this screen: 3. Select Daylight Saving Time. 4. Select Summer if your region uses Daylight Saving Time and it's currently in effect. (DST is effective from spring through summer.) Otherwise select Winter to turn off the setting. Note:
When you change the setting from Winter to Summer, the clock is automatically set ahead by one hour. When you change it from Summer to Winter, the clock is set back. The setting is not automatic; you need to change it each season. 5. Select Date/Time. You see this screen: 6. Select the date format. You see this screen: 7. Use the numeric keypad to change the date, then press OK. 8. Select the time format. 9. Use the numeric keypad to change the time, then press OK. 10. Press Back until you return to the home screen.

Time change has no effect on programs working.
Try changing time in control panel Time&Date link?
Manually run the internet time updater?

What do programs look like they were converted into?
Different language? Check Language settings?
Hard Drive got corrupted? just a coincedence?

Go to www.timexaudio.com and search the user's manual on site.

There was a sheet of paper that came with my clock explaining how to adjust the daylight savings time settings, but I lost it.  Anyone have theirs?  All i know is it requires that you press an awkward combination of buttons simultaneously, but that's it.

Petewete,
Here is the manual.

Frank081541,
You can't adjust the Daylight Savings Time. I called Timex and they confirmed this.
