It's a device that records video on magnetic recording tape. The tape is protected by a cassette, a container that opens automatically when it is inserted in a cassette recorder or player.

There were two "flavors" of VCR sold for consumer use: VHS and Beta (Betamax). Beta, although it had better quality, lacked the ability to record longer programs, and was eventually discontinued.

Most VCRs were programmable to start and stop recordings at specific times and on specific channels. VCRs were only equipped to record analog broadcast signals.
