Only machines I ever saw when I repaired them for a living that would block or shut down the Rec mode were the later model Go-Video units after they (Sensory Science Corp) lost the lawsuit against them. Put in a tape, hit "copy" it would run for maybe 5 seconds until it detected macro-crap, and shut off with a blue screen message. Other VCRs would simply record garbage for an hour or two.
