Video Summary:
The VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) was most popular during the 1980s and 1990s; however, it's still a really neat peace of technology! It plays VHS cassette tapes (Video Home System). The magnetic tape is what stores the video and sound information. When you put it in the machine the magnetic tape will be pulled out by the Guide Rollers and then wrapped around the Drum. Inside the Drum are several heads that will do the reading the writing of information. The Erase Head removes information when it's in record mode. The Audio and Control Track Head write sound and extra information to the magnetic tape. The Pinch Roller will then pull the tape along so it continues to move past the Drum.
