Won't work right if it's a multifunction display and you want to see
the other thing that's displayed there (often tape counter).

What's a VCR? I just went to Blockbuster and all they have are DVDs.

It's an old-fashioned player for fat, rectangular DVDs with poor audio
and video quality, and no menus.

That also works on automotive gages.

Hey! The audio quality on the HIFI vcrs isn't that bad!

You REALLY need a DVR but in the mean time buy a small UPS, it will
maintain power and avoid the 12:00 flash thing

Another idea is you can put the VCR in the trash, that will also keep it
from flashing 12:00. Or you can buy one of the VCRs made in the last 10/12
years that don't even have a clock that flashes 12:00, just a bunch of LEDs
for power/timer/record/ and stereo if it's a Hi-Fi model.
