Because if your VCR is not working well, there must be something wrong with it.
If nothing is wrong with your VCR, then it should be working well.
At least if you have purchased the right model.

VCR stands for Video Cassette Recorder. That's something you can find yourself within seconds by googling the term.

Your question should read What does VCR mean?
