Does your reciever have RCA analog audio input? If so that should be all it needs to decode Dolby 5.1....Theres no surround sound info in the video content.
If your TV has S-video input you can just connect video directly to the TV.
Clock settings rarely last more than 2 minutes on most decks even when new. When I'd go on vacation to the north woods for ~2 weeks at a time years ago I'd usually plug my decks into a UPS supply for computers to keep power outages from messing up timer recordings on the 3 decks I'd run.
