I discovered during the millennium panic that with a particular RISC computer you could not set the year beyond 1999 but it would roll over to 2000 at the end of December 1999 - you could then set time day and month as normal - if you set it to the end of December it would again roll over to 2001 and so on - perhaps the VCR is similar?
