“VCR issues when plugged into surge protector We bought our first flat screen tv this weekend. I picked up a Rocketfish 7 outlet surge protector and hooked up the the tv, our VCR and our DVD player to the surge protector. The VCR now blinks out and the clock will not stay set. I've never encountered this issue prior to plugging it into the surge protector. Any suggestions?”

The problem is your surge protector is shutting on and off. I have one and not all of the outlets even have power.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
The VCR needs power all the time to maintain the clock. Plug it into one of the non-green power recepticals on the strip or get a VCR that automatically sets the time when power is restored.
