Sounds like the heads on the vcr definitely need to be cleaned. But also one of the heads could be permanently damaged from age and wear and tear. Does not hurt to use a head cleaner. Least expensive way to start solving the problem.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Don't despair. If it is a damage problem inside your unit it may not be the heads at all. It could be something else along the tape path. Like a roller which is essentially a wide rubber wheel. Most of them are designed to be replaced. They're held on with a clip and are fairly easy for a technician to replace. I once had a repair guy fix my unit for a $5 parts kit and a $15 labor charge. It took about 20 minutes. Does the same problem occur when playing back professionally recorded cassettes? Check your input and output connections. You could have made a hook up mistake. Mismatched connection or trying to put the signal though an i put not designed to take it. Or it could be mismatched impeadence. Is the sound coming from the vcr itself or from the TV speaker? If you playback the tape on a different unit is it still there? It could be feed back or maybe your cables aren't shielded well enough. i once had a similar problem when I accidentally hooked up my line audio output to a mike input.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Cleaning the tape path may help but it's most likely a mechanical problem that will need professional repair.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.maybe your machine is dirty, so maybe use VHS cleaner, i had to use VHs cleaner several times to clean my old Vhs machine several times so the picture and old sounds of old recorded programs disappear
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Has it always been this way? If it's a recent occurrence, there may be something wrong with your vcr.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.you need a new vcr!!! something's seriously wrong.
