The time of day in most of the TV sets is in part of the main controller. This is not a simple thing for the end user to service. You would have to have the set properly serviced by an experienced tech. It is very possible however, that the parts may no longer be available.

Considering the age of the set, the cost of the repair may not be worth the investment. This is something you would have to decide for yourself. The newer sets are superior to the one that you have.

I operate the TV -- using a remote-control or using the buttons on the front panel of the TV set -- the time is displayed on the TV screen.

When I set the TV-time to match the real-time (for example, 2 PM), five hours later (at 7 PM real-time), the TV-time is 9 PM.

How can I get the TV-time to stay the same as the real-time? Is the clock a part of the TV or is it in the remote-control?

HOWEVER, they probably will not last as long.... the CHEAP "build quality" is getting more prevalent.

Try unplugging the TV for a few minutes if you haven't yet. Often TV clocks that are keeping odd time will clear up after unplugging. Also, try posting model and chassis numbers.
