AHHH!!!!!! I'M GONNA BREAK IT!!
Okay so... I'm trying to watch a movie. I insert the tape into the VCR, make sure power is ON.. and press PLAY. According to the VCR.. the tape is playing. HOWEVER, I don't see the movie on ANY channel. Not Ch. 1, not Ch. 2, not Ch. 3, not Ch. Video, not Ch. "FRNT", and there isn't a Ch. 4. AHH!! WHY!? What is wrong? Any ideas? When the VCR is powered ON.. ALLLLLL of the channels have a black screen and say "Unusable Signal". Then once I turn the VCR OFF.. that message and goes away and it is back to normal. I don't have Satellite, so I don't understand the "Unusuable Signal" part. Can anyone help me, or at least point me in the right direction?

It sounds like your audio video cords are not plugged in. These cords are easy to find and easy to plug in because they are color coded.
Here's a step-by step guide
1. First locate the audio-video cords - they will have white (video), red and yellow (audio) coverings around the plugs. They may be plugged into the back of your vcr but not your television. The cords will have plugs on both ends of the wire.
2. Once you have found the cords, see if they are plugged into both your televison and vcr. If they are not, simply plug in the cord to it's corresponding color slot (ie red goes into red socket). If your plugs are not color coded then they will most likely be labeled "audio" and "video" - if they are just labeled like that it should not matter which audio plug goes into which slot.
3. You should have video and sound now. If not, find the instruction manual for you VCR and look through the troubleshooting guide.

Don't worry yet about where cords go, just make sure your cords are tight, and you don't see any diconected cords hanging loose.
VCR set ups can vary, so I'll give you some basics. Other than the power cord, there need to be at least two other cords, audio and video. If those are both plugged into the VCR, connecting it the TV, then I'm not sure what.
I hope that helped at least a little.

it sounds like your video channnel is not tuned in. play the video, then click on a channel that u dont use like 8 or 0 for example and tune it in. on mine i have to tune it in the the video remote. then when you find the film playing save the channel so u can watch videos on it.
