How to keep your VCR from flashing 12:00

Won't work right if it's a multifunction display and you want to see the other thing that's displayed there (often tape counter).
What's a VCR? I just went to Blockbuster and all they have are DVDs.
It's an old-fashioned player for fat, rectangular DVDs with poor audio and video quality, and no menus.
Another idea is you can put the VCR in the trash, that will also keep it from flashing 12:00. Or you can buy one of the VCRs made in the last 10/12 years that don't even have a clock that flashes 12:00, just a bunch of LEDs for power/timer/record/ and stereo if it's a Hi-Fi model.
