I have a Panasonic PV-4022 VCR which I bought new in 2002. The calendar seems to go well beyond the year 2000 -- starts at 1997 and ends at -- gasp! -- 2096 -- ninety-nine years (!).
I don't believe for one second that Panasonic expects its VCRs to last over 90 years. (The last Panny VCR I had before this one went bad in two years.) I know that in their ads they used to say (I don't know if they say this anymore in their current ads), "Do you have a DVD player or VCR that just won't die? (It's) probably a Panasonic", but to put timers in these things that can be set for any date up to 99 years in advance -- sheeesh, that's too much.
