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.

I don't have S-Video on anything. I must have had it on my old TV because I know I had a VCR hooked up before. But now I only have composite on receiver and composite and component on TV. HDMI on both, of course.
Edit: The owner's manual explicitly states "The timer unit of this VCR contains a memory protection circuit. In case of a power failure of less than approximately 24 hours, the display disappears, but the clock continues operation." etc. etc. etc. I can't post a link because I never found a scan of the manual, I ended up having to buy a hard copy (is there somewhere that I can post scans of it?)
Edit2: is servicemanuals.net legit? they offer a PDF scan of the service manual although not free.

Edit3: is there anywhere I can get a blank tape or two for a reasonable price, so I can finish testing the unit and remote functions? I've only found prerecorded tapes in thrift stores. I would also prefer to have at least one blank S-VHS tape so I could try recording in S-VHS mode and see if that works.
