ABSTRACT:
A timed controller operable with a VCR for partially inhibiting operation thereof after a preselected time period has elapsed. The controller includes a clock, and a counter receiving and counting clock pulses from the clock and generating an inhibit signal upon counting a predetermined number of clock pulses corresponding to the preselected time period. A keyed switch is used to reset the counter and to control a power switch to apply power to the clock and counter. A rechargeable battery supplies power to the clock and counter for operation of the controller when the VCR is disconnected from its source of power. An interconnect cable extends between the counter and the inhibit switch, and the inhibit switch is changed into a state which disables the VCR should the cable be disconnected. An inhibit switch is positioned within the VCR to apply a control signal thereto in response to the inhibit signal to cause the VCR to automatically rewind and disable other playing functions of the VCR.
