Poll: Who has their VCR flashing 0:00 or 12:00, because the've never got round to setting the clock on it.

[DABANSHEE]

well

My video has a autoset-clock button... It rules!!!

 

[Chef0083]

I do occasionally time record so I have to keep it set. It doesn't have an external clock though so if I didn't set it it would just be the light flashing.

 

[skywhr]

I have auto set on both of my POS sony VCR's and on one of them the cl;ock doesnt work at all and on the other one the auto set sets it 1 hour back from the real time so IT SUCKS:|

 

[VoodooExtreme]

Btw, mine is display SHARP instead of the time flashing when I plug it in.

 

[squirrel dog]

ever look at a flashing clock on a vcr and wonder why oh why didnt the manufactor include a cmos type battery on its backplane?

 

[pac1085]

My Hitachi VCR doesnt have a clock on the front of it

 

[StageLeft]

Whats really lame is that not only have I failed to set the time but I actually manually take the output on VCR and connect to input on TV every time I watch a movie. Why? Because I have not yet bothered (over the last 2 months) to grab one of the many cable wires I have and hook the cable into vcr into tv !

 

[PCAddict]

My JVC VCR automatically sets the time from a signal broadcast by PBS or something like that. I never have to do anything. It just rules.

I got rid of my VCR. Just have DVD now. (but it doesn't tell me the time).

Mines an hour ahead. I don't have the right remote for it, so I can't get to the setup menu, but at some point I got it to automatically set the clock, if only I could remember how...

 

[yakko]

I have to have the time set because the flashing bothers me.

 

[bUnMaNGo]

VCR? What's a VCR? I have a neato unit sitting on top of my tv called a DVD player, but I've never heard of a VCR =P I'm in the same boat as Entity

 

[Raspewtin]

DVD player + Tivo = No VCR


Win your own Tivo.

 

[Linh]

threw out my POS VCR a long time ago. Using scsi pionner 6X and 19" hitachi monitor for movies now. no room in my tiny dorm for computer and TV/VCR

 

[prodigy]

not mine

 

[Electric Amish]

My VCR sets itself!


I have to keep a VCR because all of my por...errrrr....all my wife's favorite movies are on VHS.

amish

 

[Ornery]

I routinely update all the clocks after a power outage or Daylight savings etc.

What I'd like to know DABANSHEE, is whether your analog clocks go in the opposite direction that ours do?

 

[Farbio]

i have to say dabanshee that this poll has made me laugh quite hard just reading the thread title and my vcr sets itself nicely

 

[HappyFace]

Ours didn't come with a manual, and I haven't figured out how to get the darned thing to change it's time. Bad VCR!

/me spank the VCR!

Oh well, I don't use it often cuz I have a DVD drive and 19 inch screen hooked onto my system!

 

[dennilfloss]

Clock autosetup using PBS.

[Napalm381]

Autoset for mine too. Most of the newer ones do that I think.

 

[mattyrug]

I purpously bought one that dosen't autoset just to watch it flash!!
really though.. mine dosen't flash, just blank!!

 

[BiggieN]

all zeroes but i just moved in...does it still count?

 

[Rendus]

Heh... I deal with Severe 12 O'Clock Flashers all day at work (Tech support)

You know you're lazy when, instead of hunting down the manual to set the time (some weird button combo starts the clock setting thing), you hunt down the roll of duct tape and tape over the time
