How to erase VHS tape through VCR

 

[kanewolf]

Just record over it with static.

 

[Wolfshadw]

Change the channel to one that does not receive a signal and press record.

Can you please explain me what static mean . How it works

 

[kanewolf]

As @Wolfshadw said, tune the tuner to a something that has no signal. That would be random noise or "static". Some people would call that "snow" on a TV screen.

You could simply record other programmes over the existing ones or, if you want to erase them for evidential purposes, cut them up into small pieces and throw them on the fire.

The easiest way is with a degausser

 

[americanaudiophile]

Set the VCR to record the AV input. If there is nothing connected to these jacks you will record over the existing program with blank video and audio.

recording static "nothing" seems like it is much more complicated then putting the tape in a drawer and pushing a button on a degausser. It's also a lot quicker.

Can we record tv program directly on audio cassette recorder

 

[Saga Lout]

How do you think that would help unless you're prepared to salvage only the audio part of the recodings?

the answer is no. there is no Audio cassette recorder with Video input to begin with.

My apologies; I did misunderstand you. I took it as you wanted to rescue at least the sound from your VHS videos. You might be able to record the sound of a TV programme on to a cassette but I've never tried it. The recorder would have to have white, red and yellow sockets to match those on the TV, I think.

Cassettes are as outdated as VHS, although I did buy a USB cassette player for my wife last year and she listens to her old recordings on her laptop. That might give you some clues but it would be audio only.
