   Bad clocks in 2 identical DVDRs; Maggic

   Here's a follow-up, or at least a related post to this one by me:   
   Subject: Broken DVDR   
   Message-ID:    
      
   The preveious DVDR had a bad clock, that ran fast, so if I said to   
   record something from 9-10, in a few days, I'd be missing the end of the   
   show.  So I learned to say 8;55 to 10:20   
      
   Now I have another identical machine, from ebay, and I've had it for   
   iirc about a year, long eough that even shows set to stop recording 20   
   minutes late are truncating the show now, because this clock too runs   
   fast.   
      
   I'm not too suprised that one does, but bothered that two are like this.   
   Kenwood DVDR, 3875 iirc with Hardrive, bought about 2010.   
      
   If you recall the first one was completely dead, but I found a little   
   black button inside and though I have not connected it, it seems that   
   everything works, now that I prssed the magic button.  Since the 2nd   
   machine is the same age within a couple years, though may not have been   
   used as much as my first one, I anticipate it too will suddenly stop   
   working, but this time I know about the magic button.
