	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 videotape cassette 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).
		DVD Video Recorders and Digital video recorders such as TiVo have recently begun to drop in price in developed countries, which some consider to be the writing on the wall for VCRs in those markets.

	Videotape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In virtually all cases, a helical scan video head rotates against the moving tape to record the data in two dimensions, because video signals have a very high bandwidth, and static heads would require extremely high tape speeds.
		Video tape is used in both video tape recorders (VTRs or, more common, video cassette recorders (VCRs)) and video cameras.
		The first domestic videocassette recorders were launched in the early 1970s, but it was not until the Japanese systems, Sony's Beta (1975) and JVC's VHS, were launched, that videotape moved into the mass market, resulting in what came to be known as the "format wars".

	Recording/playback apparatus for digital video cassette recorder - Patent 5897219
		A recording and playback apparatus for a digital video cassette recorder is provided with a data conversion unit for recording a compressed video signal in a more compressed format on a digital recording medium and a data inverse recording unit for playing out the recorded video signal.
		For the playback of the compressed video data recorded on the magnetic tape T in the above manner, the compressed video data is detected from the magnetic tape T by the playback head HD2 and then applied to the playback amplifier 5, which amplifies the detected video data by the predetermined level.
		Upon inputting the compressed video data, the data conversion unit 21 decodes the inputted compressed video data and recodes the entire picture region of the decoded video data in the intraframe manner to compress it.

		As more VHS recorders came into use, and more VHS films became available, network effects eventually Betamax was squeezed out of the consumer market; though a related system called Betacam still remains in use for high quality professional recording equipment.
		In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the video cassette recorder was recently shoved aside in terms of movie playback by DVD.
		For recording, both Tivo (and similar Personal Video Recorder) and DVD recorders are becoming popular, although neither has yet to supplant the VCR.

	Video cassette recorder capable of automatically setting a television receiver - Patent 5550644
		Accordingly, in order to watch the recorded program played back from the VCR, the TV receiver must be turned on and an appopriate output terminal, through which the reproduced signal is sent to the TV receiver, must be selected, from either the A/V or the RF signal output terminal of the VCR.
		If the VCR is not in the playback mode, the microprocessor 25 reads the power-off key codes from the memory 30 and transmits the same to the TV receiver via the IR signal transmitter 15 in order to turn off the TV receiver.
		If the VCR is not in the playback mode, the procedure goes back to step S2; and if the VCR is in the playback mode, the microprocessor 25 reads the power-on key code from the memory 30 in step S3.

	The Video Cassette Recorder (VCR)
		These pulses are generated in the video recorder by a separate head which are recorded on a separate narrow track at the side of the video tape.
		In case of a mono video recorder, the audio signal which corresponds with the image is transferred to a separate, fixed audio head.
		This is possible as the video recorder has a built-in oscillator (or small sender), that generates a carrier frequency similar to the frequency of the channel reserved for VCR.

		Thus video can be a force for greater international commercial control over information and cultural dissemination leading to an unprecedented integration of markets; and simultaneously a force for political and national loss of control over information and cultural dissemination leading to the partial disintegration of existing markets and their reconstruction.
		Video has eaten into the place that national cinemas have been able to achieve in their own markets, because the cost of making a film available on video entails only limited returns in the local market.
		In developed commercial markets, video points to major readjustments in the overall configuration of release patterns, as additional channels provided by video and other new TV technologies are added to the basic cinema and then broadcast TV windows that developed in the 1950s.
