I'm not exactly sure what you mean by ``the TZ setting''. I don't know if you mean within the OS or the player option. Under most, if not all, Unices, the OS's timezone setting is an environment variable set by init before it spawns any other processes, which inherit the variable. The empeg's init does not do this. You should see a difference if you set the environment variable within a shell and then run date. (Remember to export it!) I assume that the variable is TZ, but I could be wrong. There's also the possibility that the empeg's libc doesn't support timezone distinctions, but I doubt it. It's also possible that while you've obviously found the correct directory in which to place the config files for the player that the correct directory for the OS might be elsewhere.
