I never do it that way so can't help there. I use either my Canon or Nikon cameras for my pictures.

As far as sacrificial tapes go, I have some old blank tapes that were NOS that someone gave me that I can use for that purpose, and the VCR seems to be in a "lockout" mode as it won't let me load a tape into the VCR and without the VCR being able to power on it won't allow me to load a tape into the VCR.

You MIGHT be able to trick it by turning the TU reel by hand when you power it on, which should send a PG signal to the microprocessor.
Other than that, without a service manual and putting it on a bench to check things with an o'scope and DVM, don't know what to tell you.
