Everything was tested and works. When I first plugged it I would insert a VHS it would power off then eject it. I pushed it back in and it started to work. Another incident is when I stopped and Rewind it then press play it turned off again powered it on and then eject the tape. I just pushed it back in and press play and it worked. Just a heads up in case it does that to you. I will not accept any returns as you can see in the picture I did test it on both sides
