i used to have mono vcr's.
i bought a jvc hr-a52u stereo vcr. on some tapes (both prerecorded,
and ones that i recorded myself) the vcr make an intermitent
'scratchy' foreign noise through the tv speakers. when i change the
vcr setting to mono, the noise goes away, but, or course, so does a
lot of the normal audio that can be heard when stereo on stereo
movies.
i tried the jvc with a different tv, and that did not help.
i think that this problem is with both stereo, and mono recorded
tapes.
i tried connecting with both coaxel cable, and rca jacks. the noise is
present on both - when together, and when one of them is not
connected.
tried a different set of rca jacks. tried a different coaxel cable.
the connection is simple. vcr straight to tv. nothing else connected
to tv. tried exchanging the vcr. new one had same problem. would like
to keep the jvc if at all possible.
does anyone know what the problem could be.
This sounds like head switching noise from the Hi-Fi tracks due to the
audio heads in the VCR being at a slightly different alignment than
the machine the tapes were made on. The sound is often described as a
crackling one. The tapes you made on your old mono VCR shouldn't have
this problem, as they don't have Hi-Fi tracks.
The amount of this noise can often be reduced or eliminated by
manually adjusting the tracking, but it could adversely affect picture
quality if a major adjustment is needed.
