I am certainly no genius with non-computer uses of the Atari monitor,
but I don't think you can use the monitor with a VCR.  You need a color
composite monitor for the VCR, and the ST monitor is an analog RGB 
monitor.

If you can find a way to turn the composite signals of the VCR into the
analog signals of the monitor, you MIGHT be able to get it to work.
However, I don't know how one would go about doing this.
