Why does VCR say no signal?
This is often caused by the VCR being turned off. If the VCR is powered on and you still get this message, try playing a VHS tape for 30 seconds to see if Easy VHS to DVD will detect a Video Signal and lock on to a frame. When this happens, VHS to DVD will lose track of the video frame resulting in a “No Video Signal”.
Why does my VCR eating my tapes?
9.4) VCR eats tapes The most common cause of a VCR eating tapes is a dirty/worn idler tire preventing the takeup reel from turning.

Are VCRs really that bad?
Most VCRs made after 1990 or so are junk. They REALLY blew it with the DVD/VCR units as they made both parts of them junk. The weird thing is, the DVD player on this works fine. It’s just the VCR that’s crapping out. When I tested FF, the tape was not playing.
