  Videocassette recorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The videocassette recorder (or VCR, more commonly known in the British Isles as the video recorder), is a type of video tape recorder that uses removable cassettes containing magnetic tape to record audio and video from a television broadcast so it can be played back later.
Many VCRs have their own tuner (for direct TV reception) and a programmable timer (for unattended recording of a certain channel at a particular time).
Such VCRs are usually overpriced and sold exclusively to certified professionals (video editors, TV stations etc.) via controlled distribution channels in order to prevent their being used for producing illegal copies.

 Final Project   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Our VCR was a 1989 model, and as such we were a bit confused by what appeared to be a blue LED display (blue LED's have only been put into commercial applications in the past few years and did not exist in 1989).
As the VCR reaches the fully loaded position, the gears off the funny looking gear trigger the system which pulls the tape loading lever out of the way and pushes the pinch roller into the capstan.
When the boot reaches the end, fully loaded, it kicks (literally) a lever with a spring which brings the capstan gear system in contact thereby allowing the capstan motor to move the capstan and one of the reels (take-up or supply) depending on what mode it is in (play/record/search forward or search rewind).

To avoid damage to the VCR, don't turn anything you don't understand fully and stay away from the video drum (the roughly 3 inch diameter cylinder mounted on an angle (this is normal, don't use Vise Grips in an attempt to straighten it out!!!).
The VCR might in its infinite wisdom decide to complete the eject cycle but catch the tape on some guidepost or crinkle it in some other creative manner.
Depending on what the VCR was doing or attempting to do when it got confused, you may need to do both (1) and (2) or just (2).

This is quite uncool, since the VCR has a front-panel A/V input (for which the manufacturer found money).
Although the S-VHS VCR provides better resolution and video quality even when the “regular” composite video input is used, it is worse than when using an S-Video connection.
The video recording quality is better than that or a regular VHS VCR (provided you use good SVHS tape), but is a bit worse than when a SVHS VCR with an S-Video input is used.

The ghastly logo on the cover of VCR's 6-song EP looks like that of a Walgreen's brand cologne circa 1983, and the back cover lists song titles like "Rad" (sample lyric: "You could be rad/R-A-D/You could be rad!") and "DVD" (um, yeah!).
The music itself is Cologne Man at a costume party, doused in sweaty dollar-store fragrance and drunk through next week, all jacked-down hi-hat dance-punk, polyphonic synth shriek (the 21st century equivalent of the fuzzbox), and party-in-my-mouth-and-everyone's-leavin' vocal entropy.
The song "We Are VCR" is the band's statement of purpose, and its awesome ham-handedness makes the song--and possibly the whole record, and maybe your week.
