Do you still have 12:00 blinking on your VCR?

[Antoneo]

Mine still does.
I have set the time before but my brother mistakenly unplugged VCR instead of the N64 and so I do not want to go through the damn menus and button smashing. Arg!!

 

[jacklutz]

I, also, am far too lazy.

No, but the time isn't even close to being right on mine. For some reason on my VCR you have to use the remote for everything, well my remote broke so I am using a universal remote. I went to set the clock, got to the part where it said "Press the AM/PM key to select AM or PM" and my universal remote didn't have a damn AM/PM key! So I just said screw it and didn't set it, and its like 8 hours off now. My VCR won't blink 12:00. If you don't set it, it will just start keeping time like you set it to 12:00am. So the only way I am going to get it right without that damn key is to wait until midnight one night, unplug it, and plug it back in.

 

[Ladies Man]

i HATE IT when peoples vcr is blinking
drives me NUTS

it takes 2 minutes of your time! just fix it!!!

 

[Antoneo]

Hmm... the non twelve o' clockers are winning.

 

[boyRacer]

Nope... i got one of those self adjusting ones... ...but i don't have a dedicated DVD player like the rest of you.

<< Nope... i got one of those self adjusting ones... >>


Nooooooooo there goes my grand idea!!!!

I just set mine to auto-set the time. In most parts of the United States, the local PBS channel sends out a signal with the correct time. The newer VCR's are able to pick up on it and set their own clock. So I don't have to.

 

[Moonbeam]

Yes, the pulg gets pulled al the time and I'm tired of fixing it. I also have no trouble going potty.

 

[morkinva]

just put a piece of electrical tape over the blinking 12:00 -- problem solved !

 

[kt]

VCR? What's a VCR?

 

[drewshin]

yes, for the same reason as you. i usually disconnect it when i play my dreamcast

 

[Luden]

mine sets itself also..

 

[rival]

I dont even own a vcr, dvd all the way

Use some black tape, that'll fix her right up

 

[crab]

Nope, I specifically bought a VCR without a clock.

 

[Rallispec]

mine says 12:00, but it doesnt blink ... everytime i flipped the lightswitch i'd have to reset the clock so i never bother to set it.

 

[LarryS]

No VCR here, either.. 2 DVD players, though.

 

[fr]

Mine shows --:-- and it doesn't blink.

My Sony VCR has a battery that remembers the time when the power is out for a few hours. That was the feature on it that made me buy it over other models. Just set it, and forget it.

Why don't DVD players have clocks? At least mine and a bunch I've seen in the stores don't have em.

 

[jaydee]

No, but it hasn't changed since daylight savings time, so it's an hour off.
