Default How do VCRs recognize the beginnings/ends of tapes?


Anyone know how this works? Is there a sensor that recognizes the
transparent bits at the beginning and the end of a VCR tape?

I have two Sony VCRs that upon rewinding come to a crashing halt
rather than a smooth stop.

Thanks for any advice/suggestions.
