once you know how it operates.
Study your owner's manual for complete information on your
particular model.
The video cassette in most cases has a nonrecord tab that can be
removed after you have your chosen selections on tape. These
must be broken out to prevent possible accidental erasure.
HOW YOUR VCR WORKS
Your VCR is essentially a TV tuner and a recording device,
followed by a retransmitting device.
Let's follow a signal through to see what happens when you
record a program:
The signal comes from the antenna to the VCR. The VCR tuner
selects the station the VCR will record. The signal is converted
for recording use by modulators and amplifiers and sent to the
heads to lay down the recording tracks.
