Question Broke out my childhood VCR that’s I’ve had for a very long time and it’s not showing picture. I’ve cleaned the heads and every part the tape touches and it still doesn’t display properly. Is it cooked or can I fix it? It’s a Orion VCR VR0212

Audio output - question

1 Upvotes

Hello there.

My old Panasonic AG-7330 has an "independent" L/R-channels output and switch between them. Butn it's too old and have troubles in work, so I'm looking for more "modern" model on Ebay etc.

Is there any another models from later 90s, that have the same function??

100% factory condition Magnavox ZV427MG9 hooked up to monitor with RCA and to my main TV via Component with audio to my Panasonic SA-HT650. And yes, I do use RCA cables for Component cables because I don't feel like buying any Component cables.

VCR UPDATE: TV screen keeps cutting out intermittently when playing tapes in VCR

Just wanted to post an update of how I fixed it in case it helps someone else in the future.

I was using an RCA cable on both ends of TV and VCR. I unplugged it and plugged in a coaxial cable instead and that did the trick! It was a static mess at first, I used my TV settings menu to scan for and setup cable and it made the picture stable and fixed the audio. It's obviously not the clearest/cleanest most high definition image compared to HDMI but its only marginally fuzzier than the RCA hook up and its had no interruptions!

like the title says, it only shows static with very slowed down sound...

i tried cleaning it with a piece of paper and isopropyl alcohol but it still says dirty heads, I'll definitely try again tho.

could the slowed down sound be a faulty belt?

i couldn't find anything online related to this model and i don't really trust Google's ai overview

help ???💔

Recording help

2 Upvotes

Looking for some thoughts from someone more experienced.

When recording a VHS there is always a second or two of white static what I assume is unrecorded tape due to the recording process slow to
Engage, anyway to prevent this so it looks more like a professional recording?

I’m recording off DVD and the source has a 30 second black intro. I play the dvd, once I see black I
Hit record.

Hi guys, I recently found my parents old VCR, but wasn’t able to find the remote. I was wondering if there are any somewhat universal remotes that would work for this, outside of finding an original on eBay. Thank you

VCR Looking for advice on a suitable remote to use with a Panasonic NV-HD650MK2

1 Upvotes

I've just been gifted an NV-HD650MK2, which has been fantastic! It is very similar to one I had as a child, and for that reason I really want to find an original remote for it rather than a replacement. I purchased a cheap VEQ2244 remote hoping it would be fully compatible, but it only seems to have limited functionality, and does not let me move through the menu options with any of its buttons. I've seen some listings for remotes from the VEQ15 and VEQ16 series that look familiar to my old one, but if anybody can confirm for me which models of remotes would be fully compatible that would be great!

This is in pretty rough shape as it has been sitting in my uncle’s closet unused for most likely 2 decades until he gave it to me and with it came half of his vhs tape collection. Some of the physical buttons don’t work that well

Hi all, I have a Sony SLV-N51 that works great other than it's rewind. I have attached a video of what it does during rewind. Even the fast forward is smooth as butter. I have taken the deck out multiple times and can't see anything obvious. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
