*counter, not timer.
Well this is odd.

Any ideas? At first the picture coming out of the unit was dark, like it had no luma but had chroma, there was color, but nothing filling in the screen. Restarted the VCR and this is the result.. It does record and play, but it certainly isn't keeping time correctly on the counter, unless it's recording or playing.
