Return value
The number of milliseconds between January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC and the updated date.
Description
If you do not specify the minutesValue, secondsValue, and msValue parameters, the values returned from the getUTCMinutes(), getUTCSeconds(), and getUTCMilliseconds() methods are used.
If a parameter you specify is outside of the expected range, setUTCHours() attempts to update the date information in the Date object accordingly. For example, if you use 100 for secondsValue, the minutes will be incremented by 1 (minutesValue + 1), and 40 will be used for seconds.
Examples

var theBigDay = new Date(); theBigDay.setUTCHours(8);
