I don't think that's right, two and four head VHS machines could play and record.

The major difference was that when you fast forwarded or rewound a 2 head VCR you wouldn't have a picture, with a four head VCR you could see the picture while fast forwarding a rewinding

At least that's what I remember from my FS days.
