If I plug the VCR/DVD player into a controlled spot, and it gets powered down after the TV does, does the clock need to be reset?

Once the master socket is turned off (the tv) the controlled sockets after a minute or 2 completely lose power. The Vcr/Dvd player would lose all power and if the clock is manually set would have to be re-entered. The strip comes with always on sockets as well to allow for devices that need to remain powered to function properly.

Depends... if you normally have to reprogram after a power outage then yes.... the controlled outlet is just like unplugging the device. BUT... some VCR's have backup battery for the settings, clock, and programming. You can answer your own question though. Unplug your VCR... Plug it back in. If it needs programmed again then it will with this power strip if plugged into the controlled outlets.

No. It will power down every time in 90 sec. automatically.It works great for me

Most likely. I never heard of one with clock battery backup. If it doesn't have a remote sensor, nor an AC adapter, it's only using elec for the clock, so you're probably not going to save much elec with it controlled.

Probably. Newer devices get the time from a clock signal on the AC power line--older devices don't have this feature. Check your documentation to see if it will reset the time automatically. If you use the VCR recorder timer those settings will most certainly not be retained, but once again, newer devices are more forgiving in this respect.

According to the manual, when the power comes back on, the clock will read "OFF" (as if one just plugged it in) and does not restart.

Yes if you use the remote if you unplug it will reset but it is easy to set just pick a cilor or setting

I wired mine clock/timer controlled by DC - switch side DC. It works that way as well.

You do not have to turn the power off before the scheduled program time comes. The machine will tell you it's going to change channels a few minutes before the recording starts. Also there is a M-F record setting and also a M-Saturday setting for record.

The item plugged into the Master outlet must be manually turned off or on. Approx 90 seconds later the controlled items should turn off. It should be obvious whether the controlled appliances are on or off.

Yes. Set the time, let it run down until it beeps. When you hit the stop button it resets to the original set time. If you want to clear the set time, pres both the hour and minute buttons down at the same time and it will reset to zero.

It has to be on both legs of the power. Try locating the display as close to the unit as possible. Turning the power off to the unit on the line will reset it, I believe.

My new DR570 also has a clock problem. In talking with Toshiba customer support I find they know about the problem which has to do with the various tuners in the DVR unit. This problem is a software problem. The solution is the one above from William Lehman who said to turn the auto setting to "off" as well as the Daylight savings to "Off", then set the clock manually.

To reset the unit unplug from the wall outlet for 1-2 minutes. Once plugged back in your display clock will be flashing 12:00. After you set the time, press and hold the "Set Delay" button until it flashes and then you should be able to reset the time.

If unplug you need to reset it .. If turned off when you turn it back on it stays at old setting

Sorry but I will need more information. What do you mean by "stop after 15 min" ? Was it no power at all or would not play a DVD? I have been using my Sony for years and occasionally have to unplug it and replug it in to clear internal glitches, but other than that I have had no trouble at all.

The timing when light go on & off is with plugs so no need to reset: however you need to reset the time/Harlen IT IS A GREAT TIMER

No, turning the unit off will clear the memory. When it is powered on again, the unit resets to begin playback from the first track.

No, This item manually resets. We used this for Christmas lights and did not have to reset this every night.

Maybe. It retains the programming for a period of time after you remove power. I never found out how long though.

Ive never tried to reset it because I haven't needed to. It goes back to zero the minute you take the item off the scale. It comes with a cord to plug in to use and it comes with batteries.
