Recording shows off the TV onto VHS tapes. Or playing shows from VHS tapes on your TV. A VCR was used for playing tapes similar to a casset player but the VCR play video and audio.
There are no DVD/VCR combos that come with a cleaning tape, but the tapes themselves are inexpensive to purchase seperately.
The best way to clean and maintain a VCR for playing VHS tapes is to regularly clean the VCR heads with a cleaning tape or isopropyl alcohol, keep the VCR in a dust-free environment, and store VHS tapes properly in their cases when not in use. Regular maintenance will help ensure optimal performance and longevity of the VCR.
You can have those old VCR tapes converted to DVD or digital copies at Walmart. If you do not wish to keep the movies, you could donate them or sell them.
Lines appear on VCR tapes for a few reasons. The VCR may need to be cleaned. It may also need to be readjusted, as it may be pressing on the tape too forcefully. Keep in mind that VCR tapes are made up of rust fragments that flake off with each use. They will deteriorate no matter what and are temperature sensitive.
Probably never. Once stores transition to selling only DVDs it's unlikely they'll move back to VCR tapes.
The only vcr's that come close are actually upscaling dvd/vcr players.Sony and Philips make these.It may be possible to use them to upscale Standard Definition tapes.
