Where do i locate the erase protection tab on my VHS tape?

Paul, March 2008

Okay, I need to record my wedding VHS tape onto a DVD-R, in a combination TV/VCR/DVD unit. I am so afraid that I am going to erase the VHS tape while recording onto the DVD, and cannot bring myself to start the record process. The back of my VHS tape has the square hole plastic removed. Does that mean it cannot be erased? HELP PLEASE!

I don't know but I need help with this on my JVC camcorder. It's so frustrating!

If you look on the back of the tape on the left hand side is a little square hole with a piece of plastic in it,snap it off with a screwdriver or knife,if you want to tape over the tape again stick a piece of sellotape over the hole.
