RossThe broadcast or cabled signal from the television is sent to the VCR to be recorded on a magnetic tape. When replayed, the VCR sends the signal back to the television. Because so much information has to be stored, the tape must pass the head of the VCR at a very high speed. As the tape passes the head, the signals are recorded in diagonal tracks across the tape.
That was a problem. You have to keep monkeying with it. Try it with the machine unplugged. Try pushing tape back in repeatedly. Try pushing tape in and down if possible. You just have to keep workign at it. unplug it, then take the srews off of the back of it which will remove the top cover off of it. then the inside of it will be exposed and you can gain easier acces in retrieving the tape and getting it out

A VCR bought new will run around 100 dollars. You can probably find used ones at garage and yard sales for under 10 dollars.
Does the cable signal need to go through both VCR and DVD player and if so do you need a splitter to accomplish it?
Cable hookupyou can string them in order wall to cable box ( if needed ) box to vcr ( for recording ) vcr to DVD and DVD to tv. Mine is hooked up wall to box, box to splitter, splitter to tv ( I have dual tuners for pip ) then coaxial out plugs on DVD to coaxial in on tv ( I don't use a vcr any more but if I did it would be after the splitter and before the tv.) There is no need to send cable to the DVD unless it is a recorder also or if you don't have auxiliary inputs on the tv.
