1549 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Does anyone know where the Erase Protection Tab is located on a VHS tape? And does anyone know how to remove it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxguy Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 to record on tapes that arent meant to be recorded on, is that what u r tryin to do? try and put a piece of tape over the little square hole thing on the end of the tape where u would put the label on. im not positive on this but i think it might work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted January 16, 2004 Author Share Posted January 16, 2004 its actually to record the content of a video tape onto a DVD, and the directions said that the erase protection tab could erase the content of the VHS tape during the recording process.

Soxguy Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 i think the erase protection tab is supposed to go in that lil hole that i told you to cover with tape. If you look on blank vhs's they have a tab there and the movies don't im guessing if you take it out u can't record. i dont know how to help really but thats what i know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 If you were putting the tape in your VCR, the tab would be on the bottom left, right in front of you. If you need to get rid of it just snap it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
