The vcr has to be set to moniter the camera!...buy a cheap universal remote and push monitor in the menu screen!

Hello I have a 9 channel multiplexer for my home security system, and Iam wondering if there is a way to replay my tapes through the multiplexer and view it full screen, even though it is taped on a split...
If you have the cameras being recorded by a vcr (tape) the answer is no. For you to have the ability to view full screen it must be recorded on a hard drive where all cameras can be recorded separately. This is not possible with a tape machine.

I have a Zenith DVD/VCR and I am recording a tape
unless the security camera has a setting for recording the date stamp you probably can't. The camera probably has a setup tab to enable embedding the date stamp on the video.

Orion VCR 213 will not record with converter box
The chain of cabling that you have should go like this; First in line should be the wall supplying the cable box. Then, the cable box connects to the VCR, then the out of the VCR should go to the TV. Select whatever channel you desire, make sure that the VCR is on Channel 3 or 4, (Whichever the back of the cable box is set) then select 3,4 or line/AUX to see the results....accordianman

Manually setting vcr
I'm sorry but, there is no way to set the speed without the remote. Last time I checked a remote for a VR213 was less than $15.00 delivered. Just FYI. If you change your mind call the number on the unit. Sorry. No magic bullits.

EATS TAPES
The tape drive mechanism is defective. Most likely a jam in the roller track. It will cost more to repair than the unit is worth. 99% of all Time Lapse VCR's have been switched out with digital recorders. You can get a basic DVR for about 1000.

The video machine bleeps continually and shows a message E-3
I think the E3 error code indicates an error with the tape drive mechanism. If it ate a tape, this would indeed be the problem. Time Lapse VCR's are not very popular anymore, everything has gone to digital. It would most likely cost you more to fix that VCR than to switch out to a digital recorder.

Other advantages are -

No tape to change
Very good recorded image quality compared to VCR
Most digital units have capability for remote viewing over the internet
You can set the unit to "alert" you if there is movement in the garden

How to set clock on Orion VCR VR0419
Most late VCRs require the remote box to set the clock, timed recording etc. Assuming you have the Orion remote, it should have a programming or menu button, and the function you need can be selected from a list of options. If the remote is an aftermarket unit (non-Orion), it must have the capability to do the advanced setup (clock set etc.). Many aftermarket remotes only do basic channel selection, and tape functions (play, rewind, stop, etc.).
