...makes a sound and the VCR shuts off.? I try taking the top of the VCR off but I cant seem to figure how to get it out. I try fast forwarding the movie to the end so I can just try and yank it out but the tape is always flowing throughout the VCR so Idk. I have a DVD player but I still use a lot of my VHS's and therefore would like to figure this out...thanks.
