Sharp VCR won't rewind

My SHARP VCR plays fine and I think it records OK however it won't rewind. Any ideas?

Joey, You may have a drive

Joey,

You may have a drive belt that is slipping or broken. If you are somewhat technically oriented, you can observe the operation of the unit by removing the lid of the unit. You may be able to see the problem when you hit rewind. If it is a slipping belt, you may be able to reposition it so it does not slip. If the belt is broken, you may be able to easily replace it yourself.

Beyond that, it will need a professional to diagnose the problem. Considering VCRs are a throw away item, I wouldn't bother fixing it unless you have some special attachment to it.
