[edit] How it works
 |
Please help improve this section by expanding it. |
A video recorder saves the electronic signal of a television in the same way a tape recoder saves voice signals. The tape is covered in ferrous oxide (rust), which is magnetic. When the signal is fed into the recording head, the tiny magnetic particles are left in a pattern on the tape as it goes past. When the tape is played back the playback head can read the patterns and recreate the television signal, which it sends to the television.
