I can get this vcr to record if i hit the record button..but when i preprogram my vcr to record it goes on at desired time, ends at desired time, however the tape doesn't move and record. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong please? my vcr is the in the middle of the picture. I have programmed twice now the cable channels in the vcr. I have the cable hooked up in the vcr and then to the tv. Picture on the tv is clear. If I want to record something now, I hit the record button and it works. But to use the programmer, it doesn't work.
