VHS Sound - No Picture

Check the interconnection cable. Try a new one. Check whether proper source i selected with TV. Check whether both VHS and TV powered ON. Gopakumar Gopalan Google

Hello,

I believe you are using a RF wire Connecting a VHS, then searching TV station is an old way. I would recommend you use a RCA wire. By so doing, you won't need to tune any station on your TV. All you need to is select Source (AV) on the TV and the VHS would automatically display on your TV.

Below is what the RCA cord looks like:



The yellow stands for video (display), while the red and white stands for audio left and right (sound).

Purchase this cord from any electronics part store within your area, it's not expensive at all.

Look at the back of your TV, connect the yellow cord to "Video IN", connect the red and white to "Audio IN". Then connect the other end of the cord to Yellow: "Video OUT", and red or white to "Audio OUT", at the back of the VHS.

After the above connection, turn on the VHS, insert a tape, and press play. While the VHS is play, turn on the TV, select Source (AV) on your TV and your VHS will start displaying and you will hear sound.

I hope the above is clear. If you need further assistance, please let me know.

Regards.

If you are using the composite cables (RWY) make sure the red and white are plugged into the audio jacks and NOT the component cable plugs (RGB.) If you have the red audio cable plugged into the red component plug this will cause issues, especially with the sound.

Check ur RCA cable setting might have a short in the cables.

Have you tryed playing with cables there is one for video and one for sound some times these cables wear out so pull them out from both tv and vhs and make sure there still in good shape put them back and see what happens

Hi,

Initially, a couple of ideas:

• check the cables from the DVD to the VHS to the TV (I am assuming that the sound is likewise connected to the TV and not to a home receiver system or an amplifier);
• I am assuming again that you are using RCA and not RF, if yes pls pay special attention to the yellow RCA on both the DVD to VHS and VHS to TV;
• diagonal roll often indicates a loose ground or a defective cable/RCA connector;
• verify settings/configurations in all three; DVD, VHS, TV. TV should be set to AV or Video, VHS likewise to A/V INput;
• try playing a known good VHS tape, if normal playback, problem is between DVD and VHS, if likewise no video, problem is between VHS and TV.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

u have to run it directto tv yellow cable ok and sound cables not throw dsh tv

We had that same problem. Try a VHS head cleaner. Worked for us.

Screen will be blue. It Is known as video mute What happens when you play a cassette now? If you are still getting sound, and no picture, then the video heads are dirty. Get a good Wet Type Cleaning cassete and clean the Video heads. Do 2-3 runs of the tape, and check if picture is now visible.

Your unit has it seems to have developed a video problem. it could be in the video switching IC or the video processor. Its going to need a trained technician, who knows how to use an ocilliscope to find the video problem.. Good Luck
