I have one more VCR - a Samsung combo machine which I use for fast forwarding and stuff for footage to do less damage to the Panasonic's heads. While it sounds worse, with sound shifting from left to...

@lordsmurf You mean the roller guides? I've tried adjusting those, but reverted the screw positions back, cause it just made the audio more crackly and the picture worse.
But, I hope you're talking...

Very interesting explanation, thanks, but yeah, it seems very complicated. Maybe if I had the tools and a spare vcr I'd try it.
Hopefully the edit mode doesn't break too, which'd be a big shame.

It's recorded on to the tape right after the samples from my first comment. It's just a testing tape I recorded random stuff on to not that long ago, and everything was recorded to it the same day.

@aramkolt
As I said those are stills from a paused tape, which adds a little more noise which doesn't happen as much in playback.
And there's no TBC on the NV-FS88, but turning on the TBC on...

I'm not talking about the noise, saying the colors just look worse with NR on, or EDIT turned off.
And tape isn't mistracking, the vcr just has a bit of noise on pause.

Possible to change HiFi mistracking sound?

Let me explain shortly. I've been having a problem with a Hi-Fi VCR which has a beeping/chirping type of mistracking sound audible in almost every audio, but only on the right channel. The problem is...

Worse colors with NR on NV-FS88 and NV-FS1000?

I'm wondering are the colors supposed to be worse with NR on, or is there a problem somewhere?
At least on FS88 you can turn on edit mode to fix the problem.

Do you think this hifi problem is even solvable, if I pay someone to fix it, or will it be a waste of money and time?

I don't have access to another unit that easily, I just have this vcr to capture on. That's why I wanted to fix this one. I would've used another one if I could.

What is this specific declicker you use? It seems to have removed the clicks without altering the sound quality, this is pretty nice!

I tried other tapes, and they played just as well, but I'll keep this in mind, Thanks!

But I hope someone can answer me about the hi-fi mistracking too :/

Small question: Is there an azimuth adjustment for the hifi heads? I read somewhere that there should be one, but it may be wrong.

Panasonic NV-FS88 noisy blue channel on some tapes. Even in pause.

I'm not an expert on VCR stuff, so, sorry if I say something dumb.

No other way, unless I spend lots of money just for a few very old tapes. Is there something bad about DVCAM recording?
