I HAVE A PANASONIC VCR ITR WORKS FINE, BUT THE

You can set up the clock on a Panasonic OmniVision VCR without a remote controller by using the buttons on the front panel of the VCR. The process may vary depending on the specific model of your VCR, but in general, the steps are as follows:

1. Press the "Menu" button on the front panel of the VCR.
2. Use the "Channel Up" and "Channel Down" buttons to navigate to the "Clock" option and press the "Enter" button.
3. Use the "Rewind" and "Fast Forward" buttons to set the hour and press "Enter"
4. Use the "Rewind" and "Fast Forward" buttons to set the minutes and press "Enter"
5. Press the "Menu" button again to exit the clock-setting menu.

Some VCR's will stop if the signal is not there. Retune the set if it uses Freeview. The broadcasters and those who are in charge of Transmitters like to mess around with the stations from time to time. This will effect the recording if you are using a model with the Guide Plus system. If you are timer recording it make certain that the settings are good. If it is an older model, make certain a thing called PDC is not on.

Yah, you're going to be taking that in for repair. I worked for couple of years at RCA / Sony / Panasonic / ... and 60 more names - service center. When a VHS Cassette loading mechanism doesn't work - it probably needs loading motor or loading gear, something repaired. At the cost of DVD and VHS combos these days I'd call it Not Worth Repair (NWR) out of the starting gate. At least $50 an hour, at least 2 hours ... that's beyond the cost of a new one.
