I think what you are asking is how to re-write over a factory recorded VHS cassette. Correct? If you compare the factory tape to a new blank cassette, you will notice a place (on the left front edge) where the factory tape is missing a small square plastic tab that is still present on the blank. The absence of the tab write-protects the tape and also causes the machine to automatically go to play mode when the cassette is put in. Cover that hole with a piece of tape (doesn't matter if it is clear tape or not) and you're ready to record over whatever was there. To protect your home movies you have on blank VHS tapes, break out the tab after recording. The same applies to audio cassettes. Enjoy.
