The videocassette recorder, VCR, or video recorder is an electromechanical device that records analog audio and analog video from broadcast television or other source on a removable, magnetic tape videocassette, and can play back the recording. Use of a VCR to record a television program to play back at a more convenient time is commonly referred to as timeshifting. VCRs can also play back prerecorded tapes. In the 1980s and 1990s, until the VCR was superseded by the DVD player and PVR, prerecorded videotapes were widely available for purchase and rental, and blank tapes were sold to make recordings.
Most domestic VCRs are equipped with a television broadcast receiver (tuner) for TV reception, and a programmable clock (timer) for unattended recording of a television channel from a start time to an end time specified by the user. These features began as simple mechanical counter-based single-event timers, but were later replaced by more flexible multiple-event digital clock timers. In later models the multiple timer events could be programmed through a menu interface displayed on the playback TV screen ("on-screen display" or OSD). This feature allowed several programs to be recorded at different times without further user intervention, and became a major selling point.

This is how my old Sony 4-head SLV-L4 VHS system works! I actually like a lot this VHS, and when the Internet gets slow, you don't need to wait until your video charges, it just plays without interruptions. Let me tell you some of this machine's history; my parents bought it when they got married, something about 1994 or so. Then, when VHS got obsolete, they give it to me in order to play with it or something. But with so many years of hard use, some things have been stop working properly, like the cassette elevator for example: sometimes when you introduce a tape, the cassette gets stuck between the upper part and the rollers, so you need to open the videocassette in order to release it. Another thing is that sometimes random the stop mechanism don't work and when you rewind the tape and ...

Already had a Panasonic AG-DV2700 ( £300+ eBay - didn't work right ) but it wouldn't load/play larger DVCAM-size tapes. Saw this one going cheap ( bid £39 inc p/p ); you see in the video part of the damage - even fixed it wouldn't play the large tapes either, but the repaired tape mechanism works better than the first machine; plus I now have 2; one for the bedroom and one for this work room. I think there's part of the tape section missing that shifts the reel tables to accept big or small tapes. Anyone know what it is ?
This one was nasty. Probably the worst condition power supply I have seen, never mind repaired. A good example of how NOT to service it. Not my work, but the previous joker that attempted repair of this unit.
