Press and hold the SELECT button (the one that does bass/treble/balance/face) until the feature menu comes up - usually clock set is the first feature. Once the menu comes up you can let go of the button.

Use the <</>> buttons to select hour / minute

Use the volume control to change the number.

Press SELECT to exit the menu.
