I'm waiting to see what he wants to do; I've told him all troubleshooting has failed to produce any results.

On another note, since the cover/door to the tape part wasn't secured, some of the...

I think I tried all RCA ports available, output AND input, in case I was in bizarro-land for some reason. [:p]

The guy says he thinks he has another he can send, so I may try that...though I'd...

JVC HR-DVS3SU not producing audio?

I recently got a JVC HR-DVS3SU DV/SVHS deck for dubs off Ebay. For some reason I get no audio. I've tried every audio setting (norm, norm/hifi, hifi, hifi-L, hifi-R) as well as 3 different outputs (2...

Looking inside the machine I have at work, I don't see the card physically in there; I think I actually tried it on a different machine that's at home. The thing is, though, this Z820 PC already...

It's at work, so I don't have it directly in front of me at the moment, but I can probably remember most of it:

Most of what is used is spare or old bits I replaced from my personal video capture...

Why does my capture suddenly auto-adjust?

In capturing video, then trimming it down to chunks of raw video, I've noticed a shift between the first frame of video and the rest of the video. From the second frame on through the last, it's as...

I'm pretty sure those, or something very similar, were what we used before switching to DVC Pro. We should have had about 16 of them, give or take, between the edit bays and the live playback area,...

Any brands beside JVC/Panasonic SVHS worth considering?

I'm curious if there are any brands or models of SVHS machines that would be considered decent. Imagine aliens have stolen every JVC or Panasonic SVHS machine from Earth, as well as their clones,...

Any hope for VHS tape recorded with bad signal?

I recorded this decades ago off the PBS station on our cable system. For some reason, the signal was terrible, though I don't know where along the line it got messed up. At any rate, you can see the...

One of the vcrs is a JVC HR S7800U, so it has a TBC, which certainly helps, but it might be overmatched. I was looking at getting an ES10, even ordered a remote for it, but ended up getting the JVC...

Can an old VHS tape be loosened?

One of my old standard VHS tapes is one of those extra-long ones, T-160, I think? In both of the regular VHS machines I've tried it in, it seems to kind of drag, for lack of a better word. I've run...

I'm fairly certain what I'm getting after I tweak the tracking is NOT Hifi, or stereo at all. And on the rare bits of video where I CAN hear some audio without tweaking first, it doesn't seem to be...

This is a full package from the tape.

In the case of the "no audio" version, what I did was simply insert the tape in the vcr and let the JVC deck do its auto-adjustments. The picture...

Another option for S-VHS audio capture?

(This is sort of related to my previous question about DVC Pro capture, as it pertains to the old news archive tapes at my TV station.)

Before we used DVC Pro, we used SVHS for news operations. ...

Archiving DVC Pro: best method?

Mitsubishi HS-MD3000U good for digital transfer?
